Soft and lightweight, this tactile baby toy from the Wimmer-Ferguson collection by Manhattan Toy features an enclosed ring rattle to encourage reaching, grasping and shaking - all very important developmental milestones. The textured teethers help provide relief to teething babies. Wimmer-Ferguson toy graphics and designs are based on scientific research of visual development in early infancy. Each Wimmer-Ferguson toy is designed to engage baby from birth, providing playful opportunities to practice developmental skills. All baby toys feature high contrast graphics to encourage early visual activity and graphics are repeated from toy to toy to encourage “pattern recognition”.

All of our products, from the newest concepts to our time-tested classics, are innovatively designed to inspire imaginative play and are routinely safety tested to pass strict CPSC, ASTM, EN71 and health Canada safety standards.
