Shake it Baby

Newborn babies tend to attract plastic until the cot becomes a scale version of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in the clutter of shiny gifts meant to delight the little one. Fortunately we woodworkers can make playthings that are truly unique and carry the love of being handmade, as well as being more environmentally friendly.

There is currently archeological evidence that baby rattles have been delighting kids for at least 4,000 years, so clearly we’re on a winner here.
