## Description

The Artful Skwish from Manhattan Toy is an artistic twist of a time-honored classic, instantly recognizable, an intriguing blend of ingenious design and developmental function. The geometrical shape and interconnecting wooden dowels have long piqued the curiosity of adults – imagine how it must appear to a baby as they begin to experience the world around them? Skwish may not turn every baby into a mathematical genius, but every baby can joyfully benefit from its unique developmental features. Its natural finish and one-of-a-kind shape instantly capture baby’s attention. The lightweight wooden dowels, smooth finish, and elastic ties make it easy for little hands to grab and hold. Babies will love “Skwishing” it down and watching it return to its original shape – Skwish is a perfect hand-held toy for developing gross motor skills. The wooden pieces slide back and forth along the dowels when shaken, producing a very pleasing rattle that allows baby to explore sound and learn cause and effect. The spatial and tactile elements have been shown to be helpful to those on the Autism spectrum. Skwish is carefully constructed of sustainable wood and features a smooth tri-colored exterior surface. Since 1978, Manhattan Toy has been making award-winning, high quality, educational toys for your baby, toddler, or kid. From infant toys and baby toys to sensory development toys, our goal is to provide the safest and best toys available. All of our products, from the newest concepts to our time-tested classics, are innovatively designed to inspire imaginative play.

Review: Well-made, engaging wooden rattle - 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.
Review: Baby niece approves - I bought this for my niece when she was around three/four months and she took to it immediately. I purchased other toys but this one was her absolute favorite and it kept her entertained for long stretches at a time. She was working on her grip and this was easy for her to hold on her own. It is super lightweight. When she rotates it the wooden beads in the middle move and hit the end bead things and it makes a light sound that she enjoys. It flattens depending on how its squished. She also is chewing on the ends. I would think the wooden balls on the ends would hurt but she loves it so it probably soothes her gums. The quality of the toy is also great because she is now eight months and the toy shows no signs of wear and tear. At this point she doesn't really play with it, but it might interest again when she gets a bit older.
