Ever wonder about the origin of the baby rattle? Here’s an interesting read…

A rattle is a rattle is a rattle? – Snookums

A rattle is a rattle is a rattle right? Not according to history… The origins of the rattle were lost in time but it can definitely be regarded as the oldest toy in the world. A museum called the Bibliotheca Wittockiana has on display a collection of over 500 rattles collected by Idès Cammaert, a passionate collector and owner of the largest private collection of its kind.

Some say that the rattle was invented by Archytas of Tarentum (born around 440 BC). But is wasn’t merely something for a child to play with. The material that the rattle was made of often determined its role. Dried fruit, pomegranates, terracotta, gold, silver, mother of pearl, coral and crystal were all used in earlier years to produce rattles. The material used was sometimes an indication of the child’s family’s wealth and they were also used as lucky charms to protect babies against sorcery or disease.

Other sources will tell you that figures shaped like birds or dogs were made with small balls inside that would rattle. But as clay is not safe for babies, Paul Revere started making silver rattles that can be chewed. Tiffany’s, the famous New York company, soon jumped on the band wagon and made sterling silver rattles as baby gifts.

Fortunately rattles today is a much less complicated matter than in earlier years. But even so, the reasons for using them and the advantages for baby are probably still the same. Rattles are a source of stimulation for babies – they like the sounds and they try to follow the path of the rattle with their eyes. So while entertaining baby the rattle is also honing baby’s senses.  It also helps them to learn to explore and can of course also double up as teethers.

To celebrate the launch of these cute new rattles, Snookums has been kind enough to offer an amazing hamper to give away to one lucky Pretty Please Charlie reader.
