Rain Stick, Montessori Baby Toys for 6-12 Months 1 Year Old, Baby Rattle Wooden Sensory Toys, 7.7” Rainmaker Infant Musical Toy - Gifts for 6 7 8 9 12 Month Old Newborn Boys Girls Toddlers

We gave this toy to our 8 month old grandson in his Easter basket. He loved it! The size is great for his little hands and the beads inside are colorful and aren't very loud. They have a softer sound and he loved watching the little balls move. Being only 8 months old he didn't understand how to turn it over for the beads to fall again but was well entertained shaking the toy and seeing the balls move. This toy is quite durable as we experienced when he dropped it a couple of times! We were pleased with how well he liked this toy and look forward to him learning how to turn it around on his own and being independent playing with it.

The entertainment value is phenomenal if your baby is into instruments. It’s cute and the quality is great. My baby has thrown this so many times across the room and it hasn’t even scratched. This is very durable in comparison to other baby toys we’ve tried. It functions well as a rain stick and he loves to hear us play it.

I waited a while to post my review because I wanted to be sure about it. It's almost been a year since I bought this but this is still her favorite. It's a simple yet entertaining toy with the colors and rain sound. Great buy!

My son didn't really start playing with this until he could walk. He carries it everywhere now. He likes to roll it and chase after it.

I love that this toy has the colors of the rainbow inside the tube! It is about 6 or so inches tall and my 7mo old can hold it just fine. The beads fall fast so it’s not a massive rain maker but it definitely intrigues my child! The ends are a wooden material and so not budge at all. My child likes to chew on it for teething and nothing has come off (yet!).I would say it is a great quick attention grabber but does not last long.

Six month old grandchild really likes playing with this toy

Item name states: "Rain Stick, 7.7” Wooden Rainmaker Montessori Toys for Baby 6-12 Months, Baby Rattle Sensory Development Toys, Infant Musical Toys for Newborn Boys Girls 1 Year Old Toddlers" However the packaging clearly states:"Warning! Not suitable for children under three years. Small parts. Choking hazard. Remove all package before giving this item to your child."I purchased this for a Christmas Gift for a 6 month old child and immediately returned.

Works as intended
