How it works

First, let's get your child comfortable on their back. Gently place them on the blanket where they can see your face. Notice if their hands are open or closed.

Now, let's bring attention to their hands. Hold the rattle about 8-10 inches above your child's chest and gently shake it. Watch their eyes and hands.

Now let's encourage hand-to-mouth movement. Gently bring one of your child's hands toward their mouth while maintaining eye contact. Go slowly and watch their reaction.

Let's give your child a chance to explore independently. Place the soft toy near their hands and observe what happens naturally.
