About this item
Highlights
- MULTI-SENSORY CLUTCHING BABY TOY: Classic, multi-sensory clutching rattle encourages grasping and reaching which are important for gross motor skills; the lightweight wooden dowels, smooth finish, and elastic ties make it easy for little hands to grab and hold.
- BABY WOODEN RATTLE: The Skwish is surprisingly lightweight, allowing little ones the ease of sliding the beads back and forth on dowels, producing a very pleasing rattle sound and allowing baby to explore sound and learn cause and effect from activity.
- DEVELOPMENTAL TEETHER TOY: Skwish may not turn every baby into a mathematical genius, but every baby can joyfully benefit from its unique developmental features. The highly-regarded design of wood construction and elastic ties allow the unique rattle and teether to flatten, or "squish", and always return to its original shape.
- HEIRLOOM QUALITY WOODEN TACTILE TOY: Not only is the Skwish Natural Rattle and Teether safe for baby teething due to the baby-safe water-based acrylics that remain hardened, it has bountiful tactile qualities of smooth, yet perceptible wood grain texture as well as the spongy movement from the elastic bands. Skwish rattles and teethers from Manhattan Toy have received numerous accolades and have been favorites of both babies and parents for over 30 years!
- STANDING BY OUR BRAND: If you're reading this, you've found a safe toy from a real company and a brand that cares. Since 1978, Manhattan Toy has been a trusted source of imaginative toys for babies, toddlers and kids of all ages. All of our toys are rigorously safety tested and every toy has our 800 number with a dedicated customer support team to answer your call.
Description
Skwish from Manhattan Toy is 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 clutching toy for developing gross motor skills. The beads slide back and forth along the dowels when shaken, producing a very pleasing rattle and allowing 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, un-dyed exterior surface. Since 1978, Manhattan Toy has been making award-winning, high quality, educational toys for your baby, toddler or kid.

Lovely baby gift
This is the baby toy we purchase for all friends babies, it is quiet but does make some noise, it is one of the earlier things our kiddo could grasp, and it is a decent teether.

Favorite Toy
One of my favorite baby toys we’ve purchased. It’s a grasping toy, a teether, a ball, a rattle all in one. Love the natural wood..it was easy for my then 3 month old to grasp, now he is 6 months and uses it as a teether. I can see it being in our toy rotation for several years to come. Very glad we purchased it.

Different
Looks interesting and fun to play with but not sure I'd be comfortable with it as a teether. Don't know how all the round balls are attached!!

Painted natural
I assumed Natural natural natural wood, but these are painted white thinly to show some wood through it. Paint flaking off when I scratch it with my nail.

Favorite Toy
Buy this! This is my child’s favorite toy. It’s so easy for even a young baby to hold on to and grab independently. The wood beads make a pleasant noise to keep a baby interested without being annoying at all. My baby can play with this for 20 minutes independently. I love that it is nontoxic too.

So mych fun!
Such great quality! My baby loves this toy, and I often find myself fiddling with it as well. He never gets bored of it. The sound it makes is nice also when it is jiggled around. Would highly recommend! I bought one for my nephew too!

confidence and skill builder
it has the most pleasant sound as the beads slide on the bars. The elastic line makes holding it easy, not frustrating at all. so he's building confidence and fine motor skills at the same time. I'm glad I got the plain natural wood. My grandson stays fixated on it for several minutes at a time and keeps going back to it. so far it looks like his favorite gift. such a happy win! Even his father likes the skwish and wants one for his office as a stress reliever.

Obsessed!
Our baby has been OBSESSED with this toy for the last six months (he is nearing 9 months old). It makes fun noises that don’t annoy mom and dad, and allows him to easily grab it and shake. Cannot recommend this enough for new parents!!

Easy for small hands to grasp
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this toy for our son and he immediately grasped onto it with curiosity! It is one of the toys on his shelves that he reaches for often. We love the simplicity of this toy- although it offers a lot of engagement for our son. I highly recommend this toy for your little one to explore!

My baby loves it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this when my baby was 2.5 months and she was interested, but now at 4 months she loves it! It is lightweight and easy to grasp and pick up because the cords and sticks are skinny. She loves to shake it and has hit herself in the head a few times (not hard) but it doesn't seem to bother her haha

Pretty good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the natural wood color and the sound it makes. My 12 month old is not crazy about it, but she picks up and play with it occasionally.

Best Baby Toy Ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second purchase I have made for the Skwish Rattle and Teether. My first was eleven years ago for my first grandchild. I was amazed at the agility a baby can show with the perfect toy to grasp. The cylinders and balls provide a different feel in their mouth and it is so lightweight that they rarely drop it unless their interest has gone elsewhere. As they age it is a really easy ball to learn to play catch and grasp onto. Now the second grandchild has his own!

Quality rattle!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 10 months of use baby still loves this rattle! It's well made and a safe alternative to some of the other stuff on the market.
