I made the rattles from recycled
boxes and filled them with different objects to make sounds when the babies
shake them up.
Rattles
can help to teach babies many new skills. When we hold a rattle up, babies might first
look at the rattle with their eyes. If we move the rattle from one side to the
other, babies learn to visually track, or coordinate their eyes together to
watch a moving toy.
The
sounds rattles make can also alert babies to noise. If they hear the sound of a
rattle, babies will eventually turn their heads towards the sound.
At
first, babies will hold their rattles tightly with a strong grasp reflex. As
their fine motor skills develop, they will learn to hold and shake the rattle
in the air.
