Full details

Its key benefit is enhancing grasping ability, dexterity, and hand-eye coordination through play.

The set includes a bell stick and a mini maraca, both featuring a safe, wooden design with non-toxic rainbow stripes and gentle rattling sounds.

What safety standards does this toy meet?

Can these shakers be used by babies younger than 18 months?
While the toys are made with non-toxic materials, they are specifically recommended for ages 18 months and up due to potential choking hazards from small parts if they were to detach, and to ensure they are developmentally appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Maraca not rattling loudly
The shakers are designed for gentle sounds. Ensure the item is held correctly and shaken with appropriate force for a toddler. If rattling is completely absent, check for any obvious damage or blockages.
Bell stick sound is faint
Similar to the maraca, the bell sound is intended to be soft. Verify that the bells are securely attached and not obstructed. If damage is suspected, discontinue use.
Wood appears dull or dirty
Wipe the toy with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using soaps or harsh chemicals. If the wood becomes very dry, a tiny amount of food-grade mineral oil can be applied sparingly and buffed off, but this should be done by an adult and only if necessary.
