Features

  • MULTI-SENSORY WOODEN BABY RATTLE: Classic, multi-sensory wooden rattle encourages reaching and holding activity which are important for gross motor skill development; the lightweight wooden dowels, smooth finish, and elastic ties make it easy for little hands to grab and hold. Safety-rated for newborns and up, the Artful Skwish is carefully constructed of sustainable wood and features a smooth tri-colored exterior surface.
  • DEVELOPMENTAL BABY 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 to flatten, or "squish", and always return to its original shape.
  • HEIRLOOM QUALITY WOODEN TACTILE TOY: The Artful Skwish Rattle has bountiful tactile qualities of smooth, yet perceptible wood grain texture as well as the spongy movement from the elastic bands. Skwish rattles 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

The Artful Skwish from Manhattan Toy is an artistic twist of 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 hand-held toy for developing gross motor skills. The wooden pieces slide back and forth along the dowels when shaken, producing a very pleasing rattle that allows 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 tri-colored exterior surface. Since 1978, Manhattan Toy has been making award-winning, high quality, educational toys for your baby, toddler, or kid. From infant toys and baby toys to sensory development toys, our goal is to provide the safest and best toys available. All of our products, from the newest concepts to our time-tested classics, are innovatively designed to inspire imaginative play.

  • My child’s favorite toy
What a cool toy! So creatively made. It’s so easy to hold. It’s durable and light weight so the child can play for long lengths of time. This is my child’s favorite toy. She never seems to get tired of it. It’s a lot to look at. A lot to interact with. The sound of the beads sliding down the bar sound like a rain stick. It’s soothing to me too honestly. When we visit friends/family, if she’s not playing with it, kids, teens, adults are. You can squish it nearly flat which is satisfying. It’s almost like a fidget toy and could very well be used for this purpose. I’m confident my child’s brain loves the play interaction with this toy too. Thank you for making it. If it eventually breaks or wears out, I’d happily buy it again. Well worth it. ... show more

  • Baby niece approves
I bought this for my niece when she was around three/four months and she took to it immediately. I purchased other toys but this one was her absolute favorite and it kept her entertained for long stretches at a time. She was working on her grip and this was easy for her to hold on her own. It is super lightweight. When she rotates it the wooden beads in the middle move and hit the end bead things and it makes a light sound that she enjoys. It flattens depending on how its squished. She also is chewing on the ends. I would think the wooden balls on the ends would hurt but she loves it so it probably soothes her gums. The quality of the toy is also great because she is now eight months and the toy shows no signs of wear and tear. At this point she doesn't really play with it, but it might interest again when she gets a bit older. ... show more
