Description
Babies chew on absolutely everything! Keeping that in mind, Brenda made sure that the rattle inserts in each eye would stay put. Both the knitted and crocheted versions are made all in one piece beginning with the eyes, then working the top of the head downward to the front of the mouth, then through the center of the donut (while adding bobbles for teeth), and through to the back of the donut. This design lessens the chance of any pieces coming loose in the baby’s mouth. Suitable for all ages.
