In keeping with our dedication to providing the best quality, most engaging toys for newborns, we have brought back some of our favorite toys from years gone by. These heirloom quality Natural Classic Baby Beads will instantly capture your baby's attention and feature smooth, naturally colored wooden beads that are treated with a baby-safe water-based acrylic lacquer that becomes hardened and water-resistant while drying. These wooden clutching beads are strung together with elastic and are designed for tiny hands to reach for, grab, pull, twist, and rattle – an old fashion, hands-on toy that encourages babies to experience the tactile world around them while engaging their gross motor skills. As baby delights in manipulating the wooden beads, a clickey-clop sound is produced, allowing them to explore sound and cause and effect. These beads have also been shown to be helpful to those on the Autism spectrum Since 1978, Manhattan Toy has been making award-winning, high quality, educational toys for your baby, toddler or kid. From infant toys and baby toys to sensory development toys, our goal is to provide the safest and best toys available.

To big and heavy for a younger baby
I ordered this for my 4 month old. It is definitely to big and heavy for him to play with. No way he can hold it and move it to his mouth. It was hard to tell in the picture but this is basically large beads on a cord that can be folded and wrapped into itself. I could see this being fun for an older baby, probably closer to 1 year old. It seems well made and the beads are smooth so good for little hands and mouths.

GREAT, safe toy for both my baby and toddler!
This is a fun toy for my baby girl. She loves to grasp onto things and these beads are perfect for her little hands. She also likes to chew on them and I don't worry about paint chipping or the beads coming apart-it is pretty durable! My son who is two and half also likes to play with it as well. It's a great mindless toy perfect for helping a toddler sit still in church or in the car. Amazon has the best price for this toy as I have seen other retailers see it for a few bucks more.

Disappointed, feels splintery
Says non- splintery and yet half the balls have little bits of wood lifting off them. I’m scared to give it to my baby as he is still exploring things with his mouth (5months) I bought these because the others had paint on them. Disappointed.

Not just for babies
Surprisingly, this toy was a hit with several members of the family, from ages 9 months to grandparent. Something about the tactile quality of the wooden beads, the weight and the way they weave in and out. Now they are on the coffee table and everyone who comes over picks them up and rolls them around. Beautifully made, smooth and solid. The natural finish is lovely.

Kids couldn't be less interested in this
I bought this for my twins when they were itty bitty and have tried to introduce them to it several times (they're a year old now). They have never had any interest whatsoever in this thing. It'll look nice on your Montessori shelf of other wooden toys but that's about it.

Good concept, bad quality control
I really liked the idea of this! It arrived and the wood was rough. I wouldn’t give it to my baby! I played with it for a second and it gave me a splinter!!! Exchanging hoping that the next one is all smooth, because I like it!UPDATE... the replacement came. I opened the box and it has a strong smell of paint/varnish!!! Unbelievable that they think I’m going to give this to my baby!! It’s been a week and I can still smell the paint! Sending back and going to a different company. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!

Not safe
I would not recommend this toy at all. I ordered this for my son before he was born and didn’t pay much attention to it other than it looked cute. However now that he’s here, when I reached for the toy I noticed several cracks in the wooden beads. Not safe for teething babies in my opinion.

Simple, yet engaging
I ordered when I saw amazon was having a deal on it for $6-as it was on my list of gifts for my 3 month old. He's a bit young, but starting to grasp it slightly. I prefer this to the colorful one, as I dont have to worry about him biting it or potential overstimulation with all the colors.I would likely purchase again as a shower gift.

Love these large beads
Bought the colourful ones and had to go back again to buy the natural ones. Bought for childminding. Obviously great for young babies but the older ones also wear them as bracelets for dress up. So resourceful!

No quality control.
The rattle arrived rough and with the worry that anyone holding it would get splinters. Someone should inspect the item before it’s sent, especially when it’s intended for a baby.

Love it!
My baby loves that rattle, and it's so pretty! Good weight, I imagine she will play with it for a long time.

Bien mais...
Il faudrait quand même que les Vendeurs se décident à mettre les dimensions et poids des Articles qu' ils vendent.Ca eviterait des deceptions...Ce Jouet est annonce pour - de 3 Mois, alors qu' il est énorme et lourd pour des mains de Bébé. Il conviendrait plutôt à un Enfant.Absence de Dimensions et Poids sur l' Annonce...
