Whether it’s the sound of jingling bells or clacking wood, little babies love rattles that stimulate the senses. Ditch the plain traditional style with some of these unique designs.
Danish design company, Lucky Boy Sunday is a favourite here at Stylenest HQ. Their characters are adorable, if not a little bit odd, and are just the thing if you’re on the lookout for wacky, offbeat toys.
Crocheted toys are perfect for newborns as they’re super soft, machine-washable and don’t have any nasty parts that could come off. We’re also a sucker for anything owl-inspired, making this adorable little creature a favourite.
The bright colour and jingle-bell of this retro-inspired rattle will capture the sight and hearing of little babies. Other colours are available, making it perfect for little boys and girls 6 months plus.
These adorable little characters from Maileg make a great choice for babies. Choose from a ballerina, a pirate, a prince, a princess or our favourite, the soilder complete with military top and busby hat.
This fleecy rattle will feel super soft against your little sweetie’s skin. A matching baby grow is also available – ideal if your stuck for newborn baby gift ideas.
