What does 'upcycled cherry pits' mean?
The rattle sound is created by upcycled cherry pits, which are seeds from cherries that have been processed and repurposed to be used safely inside the toy, rather than being discarded.

Troubleshooting
Rattle sound is too quiet
The sound is intentionally designed to be gentle and soothing. Ensure the cherry pits inside are not obstructed. Natural variations in handmade items may affect sound slightly.
Surface appears discolored or sticky
This can happen if exposed to prolonged dampness or direct sunlight. Clean gently with mild soapy water and ensure it dries completely in a shaded, airy spot. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Baby seems uninterested
Babies' interests vary. Try introducing the rattle during different activities like tummy time, bath time, or car rides to see what engages them most. The textures and sounds are designed for gradual sensory exploration.
