This beautiful little Lentil Rattle is perfect for the very little ones. Due to its size and weight, this Rattle can be easily held in small hands. From about 4-6 months (on average), babies start teething. They are then looking for relief for the sore gums, and this Chewie is perfect for that! By biting on the soft silicone, it massages the gums and provides relief. The different textures and design of this Chewie offer a good challenge in the development of fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Maintenance: The silicone can be cleaned with water and a mild soap. Wipe the beech wood with a damp cloth.
