Wooden Rattle – Circular Natural

Description

Why Play?

Improves Grip Strength

Our Rattle is designed to help children develop stronger hand muscles and improve their palmer grasp. By gripping and shaking the rattle, children can enhance their grip strength, which is crucial for overall motor skill development.

Tactile Stimulation

The smooth wooden surface of the rattle provides a rich tactile experience for children. This stimulation is important for cognitive development, helping them explore different textures and improve their sensory processing abilities.

Auditory Exploration

The gentle sound of the rings helps them develop listening skills and understand cause-and-effect relationships as they discover that shaking the rattle produces sound. When held by parents, it encourages children to turn their heads toward the sound direction.

Aids Hand-eye Coordination

Using this will help children develop better hand-eye coordination. As they reach for, grasp, and bring it to their mouth, they practice and refine the coordination between their visual perception and hand movements.

How Play?

• The adult can introduce the rattle in the environment from birth, by rattling when the baby is awake and active.
• The rattle however, should be offered to the baby only when their grasping becomes voluntary.
• Offer two choices of rattle to the child and allow them to choose one. Put the other away.
• Place the rattle in front of the child to encourage the child to reach out. It should not be too far away thus frustrating the child.
• You can also hang the rattle in a floor gym and encourage the child to bat or grasp. Babies enjoy the auditory feedback.
