Each rattle starts as light maple hardwood, left unstained so the natural grain shows through. A mix of organic beeswax and flaxseed oil is worked in by hand, giving the wood a soft feel and a warm, lasting finish.

Leave it plain or have it laser engraved with a name, a short word, or full birth stats. It turns a simple rattle into a keepsake that gets saved long after baby outgrows it.

How to Choose a Wooden Rattle for Your Baby

Wooden rattles vary quite a bit in finish, size, and design, so it helps to know what to look for before you buy.

  1. Check the finish: Look for finishes made from natural oils or waxes rather than synthetic coatings, especially since babies mouth everything they hold.
  2. Consider hand size: A rattle that is too large or too heavy can be hard for a newborn or young infant to lift and hold on their own.
  3. Decide on personalization early: If you want a name or birth stats engraved, order a bit ahead of when you need it since custom pieces take extra time to make.
  4. Think about how it will be used later: Some wooden rattles double as a nursery keepsake or shelf decoration once baby has outgrown the rattle stage, so simple, timeless shapes tend to hold up well.
  5. Look at the construction: A one piece or well joined wood design with no small glued on parts is easier to keep clean and reduces wear over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What age is this rattle meant for?

It is designed for babies starting at birth. Because it is a small handheld toy, always supervise playtime as you would with any rattle.

Is the wood safe for babies to chew on?

Yes. The maple wood is finished with organic beeswax and flaxseed oil rather than synthetic coatings, and the toy is CPSC compliant.

Can I choose my own color combination?

Yes. You can pick any 3 disk colors to customize the look of your rattle before it ships.

How does the engraving work?

You can leave the rattle plain or have it laser engraved with one word, two words, or full birth stats including name, date, time, length, and weight. Two words or hyphenated names require selecting the two word option, and three or more words need the birth stat option.

How do I clean the rattle?

Wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and let it air dry. Avoid soaking it or running it through the dishwasher, since that can damage the wood and finish.

What is your shipping and return policy?

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