 Free Wooden ring baby rattle toy plans - Since the ancient times until today rattles have always been the very first toys that babies played with. The function of a rattle is not just to attract babys attention and entertain her – its role is much more important, and that is to help the baby to develop a sense of vision, hearing and touch, as well as motor skills and motion coordination. A good rattle should be simple and with contrasting colors. Sound of the rattle should be clear and distinct, so the baby can recognize it and distinguish it from the other sounds in her surroundings. The colors should be vivid and contrasting (for example red and yellow). The baby in 4-5 months of age starts consciously to take various objects in her hands and almost instantly put them in her mouth. This way, she is mastering the hand movement, hand-eye coordination and become conscious of the sound that she make when she is shaking the rattle.
