For centuries, rattles have been one of the first toys that babies play with.

It has been recorded that Rattles have been used for enjoyment since antiquity. Furthermore, experts in child development believe they help the infant improve hand eye coordination by stimulating their senses.

But rattles are are not just a source of entertainment for a baby to play with. They can help to teach babies many new skills. When someone holds a rattle up, babies first take a look at the object. If the rattle is moved from one side to the other babies learn to visually track, therefore coordinating their eyes together to watch the movement.

Rattles provide a source of stimulation. Babies like the sounds they produce. As a result this gives them a sense of discovery as they try to grab and hold of the rattle.

By integrating rattles into daily playtime with your baby, you can promote and strengthen your child’s motor abilities. In consequence this will help him reach cognitive milestones, involving his ability to think and reason.

Give baby a series of soft rattles, hard rattles, wrist rattles, key rings, rattles with beads, rattles with bells, and so on. By so doing, your baby can explore and discover new shapes, textures, and sounds.

Why Buy Organic?

Choosing organic products helps keep chemicals out of the environment and away from kids. Polyester emits chemicals that can cause allergies, chemical sensitivities and serious health problems. Natural fabrics include cotton, linen, wool, cashmere and silk. The best fabric for children is 100% cotton.
Children are especially vulnerable to chemicals. Their immature immune and liver detoxification systems cause them much more sensitivity than adults to such things as bleach, dyes, and toxic compounds.

Harmful Synthetics

Avoid Synthetic fibres for children. They are generally made of the primary sources of petroleum and cellulose (cotton liners and wood pulp). They are not breathable nor absorbable, which makes them hot in summer and cold in winter. Frequently, they hold an electric charge, which produces static cling and requires chemical sprays.

Our founder, Angie Ting, set out to create a collection of eco-friendly products for her two young children. Angie’s vision was bold; motivated by concern for infant health, the environment and the ecological impact of conventional farming. In 2009 she formed a partnership with Pate International, a highly respected San Francisco design firm with a rich heritage of environmentally conscious projects. Susan Pate, along with her daughter Chloe Pate, helped her realise her dream. Together they created Apple Park…and the rest…is history.
