Advantages: Pleasent noise, well designed

Disadvantages: Very few babies seem interested in it

This is one of the classic baby toys that seems to be everywhere at the moment. All the toddler groups I have ever visited have one, as do my church crèche and doctors surgery.

It is a long thin tube full of beads which run through the segments making a soft dropping noise, not very like rain, but not as noisy as many toys with beads. The tube is see-through and babies can therefore watch the beads moving. It is labelled as age three months and up, but I don't see how a supervised younger baby couldn't use it.

However, although I see this toy everywhere I go, I have yet to see a baby play with it for more than a few seconds. It' always the toy at the bottom of the box, or which a parent is playing with. Although its a nice peaceful toy and well designed it doesn't seem to appeal to a lot of babies. There must be some babies somewhere that like it, as some people have written opinions on here whose babies like it. I would therefore let your baby play with it during one of ELC play mornings (usually Tuesday, 9.30-11.00), before you spend any money on it.

Sounds a great idea! Not seen these around, but now all my kids are at school & I miss out on a lot of the younger stuff.

My little son lokes his rain shaker - I got him his from Boots £5 - but I paid for it with my Boots points - so it was free (my favourite word - LOL!)
