Handcrafted from solid maple wood, this 5-inch raccoon-shaped rattle and teether pairs a soothing chew surface with a soft internal rattle to engage and comfort infants. The single-piece design and smooth finish fit small hands for easy gripping, promoting fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and sensory exploration. Maple is naturally antimicrobial and free from BPA, PVC, phthalates, and other harmful chemicals, offering a durable, non-toxic alternative to plastic teethers. Recommended for babies 3 months and older, this eco-friendly toy makes a practical baby shower gift or Montessori-inspired addition to a nursery. Care: wipe with a damp cloth, do not soak; sand any rough spots and optionally apply a light coat of food-grade oil to maintain the wood.
