Wooden baby rattle
Matt Jones

A handmade baby rattle that is the ideal baby gift, for a christening or baby shower. Made using native Irish Beech, each baby rattle is unique and handcrafted by Matt Jones in his workshop in County Sligo. The timber shows signs of spalting which is a pattern created during the decay of the tree. The rattles are filled with dried peas which create a satisfying " rattle" and are delightfully smooth and tactile to hold. Safe for babies as they are100% natural and finished with a natural oil.
A wonderful keepsake to pass on through the generations, each baby rattle comes in a lovely presentation box and is packed in wood shavings.
Photos are an example only, each one will be similar in colour but the grain and spalting will differ. They measure approx. 10cm long and 8cm wide.
