Tiger Tribe Silicone Baby Rattle - Bear

This silicone baby rattle is shaped like a friendly bear and made from soft, food-grade silicone that is gentle on new gums and easy for small hands to hold. Designed for babies from newborn to around two years, it introduces sound, texture and grip in one lightweight toy.

Soft silicone built for first grips

The bear shape gives babies something to wrap their whole hand around, which matters in the months before a pincer grip develops. Silicone stays warm to the touch, will not splinter or chip, and has enough give that a baby can mouth it comfortably while teeth are coming through.

Why parents choose this baby rattle

• Food-grade silicone, free from BPA, phthalates, PVC, cadmium and lead
• Gentle rattle sound that encourages sound tracking without startling
• Lightweight enough for a baby to lift and shake unassisted
• Textured surfaces add tactile interest during mouthing and teething
• Wipes clean with warm soapy water
• Sized to sit in a nappy bag, pram caddy or car seat pocket

Sound, texture and cause-and-effect play

Rattles do quiet developmental work. Every shake links an action to a result, which is a baby's first lesson in cause and effect. Following the sound builds auditory tracking, and passing the bear from one hand to the other develops the midline crossing that comes before crawling.

Keeping it clean

Wash in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and air dry before the next use. Silicone does not absorb moisture, so there is nothing inside for mould to take hold in. That is one of the main reasons silicone has largely replaced fabric rattles for babies who mouth everything they are handed.

A first gift that lasts

Tiger Tribe is an Australian design-led brand making toys that nurture confidence and creativity. The bear rattle pairs with the matching silicone teether and Roly Poly bear tumbler, so it works as a standalone baby shower gift or as part of a set. Supervise use as with any infant toy, and check for damage before each play session.
