Sock Monkey Crinkle, Rattle, Squeak Plush with Teether and Travel Hook

4.8 out of 5 · 462 ratings

An activity toy from the Baby Starters range, 9 inches tall. The rattle is sewn inside the body, so there is nothing to lose under a car seat. A crinkle layer runs through it, which is the sound babies go back to. A teether is attached rather than loose.

What it does in a baby's hands

In a baby's hands this one gives a rattle sewn into the body, so it sounds when an arm moves and there is nothing to drop, a crinkle layer that a baby goes back to long after the novelty of the rest has gone, a teether attached on a ribbon rather than loose.

It also carries a squeak in one foot, a hook for the pram bar or a car seat handle.

Which of those matters changes month by month: at two months a baby looks, at four they grab, at eight they chew and shake.
