Skwish Classic 6\" by Manhattan Toy – Wooden Rattle & Teether

Introducing Skwish Classic 6 by Manhattan Toy, a wooden rattle and teether crafted for tiny hands and curious minds. Vibrant colors and a variety of shapes invite tactile exploration and sensory play. The compact frame embraces soft, squishy rods and beads that slide along dowels, creating subtle sounds and delightful visual motion as the pieces move and rebound.

Designed for ages 0 months and up, Skwish Classic 6 supports early clutching and hand-eye coordination through simple, responsive mechanics. The beads rattle and the wooden rods bend, then return to their original shape a little like a tiny spring, offering ongoing curiosity during every session.

Materials and safety matter. The toy is constructed from sustainable wood and finished with a non-toxic, water-based coating, giving a smooth, splash-friendly surface that you can feel when you explore the texture together. For more than three decades, Skwish rattles and teethers have been a favorite among babies and parents alike, earning a track record of enduring charm and play value.
