Meet The Wooden Rattle
The CaliBaby Wooden Rattle is a teether and toy in one. It is a classic design with three wooden rings around the centre of hand-turned pine, fitting into any aesthetic. Babies absolutely love having the rattle in their hands - it is the perfect size for their little fingers and helps with dexterity and fine motor skill development.
If your baby is in the ‘everything goes into the mouth’ stage then you will rest easy knowing that no matter how long they mouth the rattle for, it is made from natural materials and there will be no chemicals or microplastics going into their mouths. The rounded edges can provide a little bit of relief if your baby is teething and the wooden rings make a lovely sound that your baby, and you, will enjoy.

To Clean:
1. It is important to clean the rattle given that the rattle will be going into your baby’s mouth. Cleaning wooden toys are different from plastic; they are porous as well as being naturally anti-microbial.
2. Use a 1:10 vinegar: water cleaner
3. Spray into the wooden rattle and then wipe dry.
4. Leave to air dry completely
5. Do not submerge the Wooden Rattle in water as it may distort the shape and do not use anti-microbial wipes or wood cleaner - these products will be toxic for your baby.
Care:
Please wash before first use.
End-Of-Life:
1. The 100% natural materials mean that it is suitable for composting. Please ensure that the wood is in small pieces so that it breaks down easily
2. Please landfill your Wooden Rattle if it is beyond repair and you aren't able to compost. It is not recommended to pass on teethers between babies.
