How to play

Give him one and shake yours. Stop, and see if he stops. Hide one behind your back and shake it — watch him turn to find the sound.

What you need

Two or three rattles that sound different.

What it secretly builds

Cause & effect

Turning towards a sound he can't see is how he learns to locate things with his ears alone. That's the same skill behind hearing his name in a noisy room.

Safety first
One solid piece, no loose beads, and check for cracks before every play.
