I offer this toy from birth! The pearls that fall flipping or rolling a soft stick and make noise pretty rain .... obviously. The baby reacts immediately and turns his head toward the stick he looks around. It is a little large for it to hold only up to about 1 year but he loves to manipulate the object for him. While waiting to hold it and chew it up, he can do roll over and follow the 4 legs. Indispensable!
