Each rattle starts as a piece of solid, responsibly harvested cherry wood, chosen for its grain and strength. Left natural and unstained, it is meant to age gracefully and be handed down from one baby to the next.

Choose any 3 disk colors to match your nursery or favorite palette, then decide if you want the rattle engraved. A single word, two words, or full birth stats turn a simple toy into a keepsake.

How to Choose a Keepsake Baby Rattle

A baby rattle is one of the few gifts your child may keep well into adulthood, so it helps to think past the first few months of play.

  1. Look at the material: Hardwoods like cherry or maple hold up to years of handling and teething better than painted or plastic rattles. Natural wood also ages gracefully instead of chipping or discoloring.
  2. Check the finish: A finish made from natural oils and waxes is gentler on a baby's mouth and skin than synthetic lacquers. Ask what the toy is sealed with before you buy.
  3. Decide on personalization: A name, birth date, or set of birth stats turns a toy into a keepsake you will want to save. Think about whether you want it plain or engraved before you order, since engraving is usually permanent.
  4. Consider the shape and size: A rattle shaped like a state, animal, or initial gives it meaning beyond its function as a toy. Make sure it is still a comfortable, graspable size for small hands.
  5. Think about longevity: The best keepsake rattles are sturdy enough to be passed down to siblings or saved for the next generation, not just the first baby.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this rattle safe for a newborn?

Yes. It is made for ages 0 and up, crafted from solid cherry wood with a natural beeswax and flaxseed finish, and is CPSC compliant.

What if I want more than one word engraved?

You can choose two words from the personalization dropdown for names like Amy Jo or hyphenated names like John-Paul. For birth stats or longer phrases, select the birth announcement option and include the details you want engraved.

Can I leave the rattle unengraved?

Yes, you can leave it plain if you prefer the natural look without personalization.

How do I pick the disk colors?

You can choose any 3 colors for the disks inside the rattle from the available color options, so you can match a nursery theme or favorite palette.

Will the wood finish wear off or need reapplying?

The organic beeswax and flaxseed finish is durable and meant to last, though like any wood toy it can be gently wiped clean rather than submerged in water.

What is your shipping and return policy?

Orders ship from our US warehouse, with free shipping on orders over $100. If something isn't right, we offer 30 day returns and our customer support team is happy to help.
