The Sassy Bumpy Badger is a soft, multicoloured sensory ball and rattle shaped like a badger, bringing together texture, high-contrast colour and gentle sound in one easy-to-hold toy. Made with bright colours, bold patterns and a mix of different fabrics, it gives a young baby plenty to look at, feel and grasp, which is why it sits comfortably as a first sensory toy or rattle for tummy time, playmat sessions and hand-to-hand play.
What gives this badger its character is the combination of chunky bumps and varied materials wrapped up in a charming animal profile. The bumps are sized to be easy for small hands to find and hold, while the differing fabrics give baby a range of textures to explore in one toy. A gentle rattle from beads trapped inside adds a soft sound that invites baby to listen and turn towards it.
A mix of textures, colour and sound
Every element is there to give baby something to explore. The chunky bumps encourage reaching, grasping and passing the toy from one hand to the other, which are all part of early motor play. The high-contrast colours and bold patterns are designed to be easy for a developing baby to focus on, and the different materials invite baby to feel variety across a single toy. The trapped beads add a gentle rattle when the badger is shaken or rolled.
