Believe it or not, baby rattles have been around for thousands of years. That’s because, time and time again, they’ve proven effective at entertaining little ones. The captivating sounds they make, which help teach cause and effect, are far from their only draw. Rattle toys can also strengthen your child’s motor skills as they reach for, grab and shake the devices. But in a market saturated with the popular products, what are the best baby rattles? Personally, we love toys that somehow stand out from the (very large) pack—we’re talking rattles with elevated designs sure to prompt “where’d you get that?”s from fellow parents. Here, we’re sharing some of our favorites.
