Bright Starts Oball Shaker BPA-Free Rattle Baby Toy, Age Newborn+

This is a brilliant little toy, simple, safe, and surprisingly engaging. Our baby loved it from the start. The soft, flexible design makes it easy for tiny hands to grip, and the bright colours instantly grab attention. The rattle sound is gentle but fun, and the BPA-free material gives peace of mind. It’s lightweight enough to toss in a nappy bag and durable enough to survive teething and enthusiastic shaking. Great value for the price, a perfect first toy that encourages sensory play and motor skills. Highly recommended!

As our son began to reach out and show a budding ability to bat, pinch & grab items of interest, we decided it was time to try a rattle. We had received many cloth & stuffed toy rattles as gifts, but these proved a bit too hard to hold onto in these very early stages of gripping. He also had a hard plastic ring rattle that was easier to grip but would easily hit himself in the face with enthusiasm! I wanted a rattle with thinner and softer surfaces; this proved to be it! The thin, weblike structures give little fingers the perfect opportunity to practice pinching & gripping, and the rattle is lightweight enough to be swung about with ease. The webbing is a bit tougher than I imagined, but he has yet to hurt himself with even the most enthusiastic swings. Be mindful that it can roll away when dropped! (That might be a surprise bonus feature for crawling babies, but we’ll probably skip taking this on a plane.) Truly great rattle for developing hand-eye coordination, grip, muscle control, cause and effect and just plain auditory & visual entertainment. Highly recommend!

Very easy for babies to hold and I found this really helped my baby to learn to grip and was one of the first rattles that they could hold. The noise of the rattle is very soft though, so I don't think that necessarily grabs the babies attention, but mine loved grabbing it and waving it about.

Good quality, baby can grasp the ends and it's helpful for them to learn passing from hand to hand. He also loves the bright colour and the rattle grabs his attention.

Excellent toy for entertaining our infant. He can grab any part and loves to shake it. He got it at 5 months and 8 weeks later still likes it

My son loved this. Still enjoys playing with it now and he is 2. Lightweight so good for babies.

My baby loves it. A must have for new parents. Built tough too.

I was recommended to get an oball for my baby to improve tongue mobility. This rattle is light to hold and the perfect size for small hands. The noise it makes is fairly subtle but for babies (& parents!) ears is fine. My baby enjoys shaking it now he's old enough to and he does appear to move his tongue more since using this and a bigger oball toy. I would still recommend supervision due to the use of screws and small parts within the plastic rattle part.
