### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-made, engaging wooden rattle
*by J***S on November 11, 2025*

The Manhattan Toy Artful Skwish Wooden Baby Rattle is great because it’s made of wood, not plastic, which I really like. It’s a fun little brain-building toy for the baby, makes interesting sounds, and seems sturdy and well-built. A simple, safe, and entertaining toy for little ones.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful quality toy
*by A***R on February 5, 2026*

Really nicely made and aeshetically beautiful toy. My 8 month old granddaughter is fascinated with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not just a toy, but a developmental essential! My baby’s favorite.
*by S***A on March 22, 2026*

If you’re looking for a toy that actually engages your baby and lasts through the teething stage, look no further. I bought the Manhattan Toy Skwish after seeing it recommended in several "must-have" baby lists, and it has honestly been one of the best investments for my little one’s development. 1. Unique Design & Sensory Engagement The first thing that stands out is the "Skwish" design. It’s made of wooden beads and rods held together by elastic ties. My baby (6months) is fascinated by how it flattens and then "skwishes" back into its original shape. It’s perfect for teaching cause and effect early on. The beads slide back and forth, making a gentle, pleasing rattle sound that isn’t annoying like some plastic battery-operated toys. 2. Perfect for Fine Motor Skills This toy is incredibly easy for tiny hands to grasp. Because of the open structure, my baby could hold it from any angle, which really boosted their confidence in grabbing and transferring objects between hands. It’s lightweight enough that they don’t get frustrated, but sturdy enough to provide a good grip. 3. Safe for Teething As a parent, I’m always worried about materials. I love that this is made of natural wood with a water-based, non-toxic finish. My baby is currently in the "everything goes in the mouth" phase, and this has become a favorite teether. The different textures of the beads and rods seem to really soothe their gums. 4. Portability & Durability We take this everywhere—in the car seat, the stroller, and to Grandma’s house. It’s surprisingly durable; even after being dropped (and thrown!) on hardwood floors multiple times, it shows no signs of wear and tear. It’s also very easy to clean with a quick wipe. 5. Pros and Cons • Pros: Enhances motor skills, visually stimulating, eco-friendly wooden material, quiet rattle sound, very durable. • Cons: Honestly, none. Just make sure to wipe it down regularly since it goes in the mouth often!
