Each rattle is cut into the shape of New York from solid cherry hardwood, left natural and unstained so the wood grain can show through. Bannor Toys has been shaping heirloom quality wood toys in Iowa since 2011, and it shows in the smooth, rounded edges of every piece.

How to Choose a Wooden Baby Rattle

A wooden rattle is a toy your baby will mouth, grip, and shake for months, so it helps to know what separates a good one from a forgettable one.

  1. Check the wood and finish: Look for solid hardwood rather than pressed wood or veneer, and ask what the finish is made from since babies put everything in their mouths. A natural oil and wax finish is a gentler choice than painted or lacquered surfaces.
  2. Consider the shape for small hands: Rattles with cutouts or curves are often easier for tiny fingers to grasp than flat shapes. Think about how the rattle will feel in a two or three month old's hand versus a one year old's.
  3. Decide if you want personalization: A name or birth date engraved on the toy turns it from a plain rattle into a keepsake you will want to save. If you are giving it as a gift, personalization also makes it easy to tell whose rattle is whose.
  4. Think about longevity, not just infancy: The best wooden rattles double as early teethers and later as a nursery decoration or keepsake box item. Choosing a well made piece means it can be passed down to a younger sibling or saved for your child's own future family.
  5. Match colors thoughtfully: If the rattle allows color choices, pick shades that will still feel timeless in a few years, not just trendy for a newborn nursery. Neutral combinations tend to age better in photos and keepsake boxes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this rattle safe for a newborn to use alone?

The rattle is designed for ages 0 and up and is CPSC compliant, but as with any small toy, a newborn or young infant should be supervised during play. Always check the toy periodically for wear, just as you would with any wooden toy.

What is the finish made from, and is it safe to chew on?

The finish is an organic mix of flaxseed oil and locally grown beeswax rather than paint or synthetic lacquer. This makes it a gentle surface for a baby who is teething or exploring the toy with their mouth.

How many words can I have engraved?

You can choose a single word, or select the two word option from the dropdown for names like Amy Jo or hyphenated names like John-Paul. If you want three or more words, or a full birth announcement with name, date, time, length, and weight, choose the birth stat option instead.

Can I leave the rattle without any engraving?

Yes, the rattle can be left completely plain if you prefer a simple, unmarked keepsake. Personalization is entirely optional.

Will the colors and wood grain look exactly like the photos?

Since this is natural, unstained cherry wood, grain and tone can vary slightly from piece to piece, which is part of what makes each rattle unique. Your chosen disk colors will be consistent, but the wood itself will have its own natural character.

What is your shipping and return policy?

Orders ship from a US warehouse, and shipping is free on orders over $100. If something is not right, we offer 30 day returns and our customer support team is made up of real people who can help.
