The Grow Baby Spinny Rattle is a handcrafted wooden baby rattle, made for those first months of reaching, grasping and shaking. Shaped as a friendly duck character and sized to sit comfortably in little hands, it gives your baby something bright to look at and a gentle sound to chase — the kind of simple, repeatable cause-and-effect play that early exploration is built on.
Made from birchwood and finished with non-toxic water-based paints and stains, it's a natural, tactile first toy. At 8.5 cm x 8.5 cm it's easy for small hands to hold and turn, and the wooden feel offers a different texture and weight to the plastic toys already in the toy basket.
Made for little hands, and for early play
Suitable from 3 months and up, this rattle invites your baby to look, reach, grasp and shake. As they discover that moving it makes a sound, they get to practise the hand-eye coordination and fine motor movements that come with holding, turning and transferring a toy from one hand to the other. It's not about hitting a milestone on cue — it's about giving your little one an inviting object to explore at their own pace.
Thoughtfully and locally made
The Grow Baby Spinny Rattle is made in Cape Town, South Africa, from sustainably sourced wood, and arrives in recycled packaging — small details that matter if you're building a nursery with natural materials and a lighter footprint in mind.
Keeping it clean
Wipe the rattle with a damp cloth and dry it afterwards. Do not immerse it in water, as the wood will expand.
