Baby rattle

We love children! Who doesn't?

It's not possible to avoid to smile when  you see a newborn looking to the sky and moving his hands like trying to hug the clouds, and leaving some smiles.

Recently several friends have become parents, because of that we got happy but we realized we had never done any toy for so little children, so we decided to make some baby rattle.

As little babies have not good control of their hands, it is easy they hit their head with the rattles, so we make rattle of linden wood because it is so light that can't hurt. We tried it!!

The spheric form of the rattle head avoids babies can bit it. The handle is made of a hard wood like medlar, cypress, plum or exotic wood like coral. They are refilled with chickpeas!

A doll of story: making-of

Long time ago I had the idea to paint "En Patufet" in a russian doll, it is a Catalan story which deserves to be painted with traditional Catalan clothes, this is why we went to search for inspiration in Catalan History Museum. So once more, clothes painted in these dolls are representation of true clothes.
