MY VERY OWN Rattle is made from the same tree that gives us Maple Syrup. It is the cleanest and most chemically pure of all woods.
Maple contains no toxic or bad-tasting substances, unlike Walnut and most tropical woods.
There is no paint, lacquer, or oil on MY VERY OWN Rattle , so Baby can chew safely on the friendly, sweet Maple wood. Rock Maple is strong and tightly grained, so our big, sturdy Rattle won't break or splinter. And there's definitely no danger of swallowing. We recommend MY VERY OWN Rattle for babies 5 months and older . An infant younger than 5 months may have sufficient strength to grasp a Rattle tightly, but not have sufficient control of his or her limbs to bring a toy to her mouth and take it away when she desires.
