For centuries, the humble baby rattle has been one of the first toys that babies play with.
They benefit babies because they are a source of stimulation.
They provide entertainment as well as helping to fine tune their senses.
Here is a rattle that a talented friend made.
She simply added a few decorative pieces to a clean bottle and sealed the top with glue.
Simple!
Good tip is to keep the rattle light and not weigh it down with heavy items.

Thank you Renee. From your comment it sounds like you are expecting a little person soon. How very exciting. Appreciate you taking the time to comment.
We made a rattle for my first born, from a tiny plastic water bottle (from the plane) filled with rice, lid super glued on.
He’s now almost 7 and was just using it yesterday as an accompaniment to his singing 🙂
Yours is gorgeous. Would make an unique gift ♥
How absolutely adorable. I love that he is still using it. Precious.
