Fun!
"This is a cute infant gift that works for older toddlers too. It is completely impossible for a baby to get injured playing with it, so you can trust that it is safe for small babies, and its design is clever and fun. My daughter has two of these, and they still get played with at age 2.5!"

First toy I bought when we were expecting.
"My youngest sister had a skwish and I was always so jealous! Ordered one almost as soon as we found out we were pregnant! It grows so well with babies- he has as much fun with it now that he's almost 18 mos as he did when he was an infant!"

Sturdy and fun baby toy!
"I was worried that this would break or fall apart but it has held up well. My son likes it when the beads rattle and it is easy to manipulate. I love that it's a safe toy for him to suck on."

Fun for Mommy
"I like this toy more than my son does. He has had it for a year now (from the ages of 6 to 18 months) and except for a few brief times chewing on the beads, he has not shown much interest in it. Even though he's not a huge fan, I enjoy squishing it and like the soft clink of the beads. The toy is well made."

Awesome toy!
"I bought this toy for my son before his first flight. I was nervous how he would behave during the 4 hour flight. When I introduced the skwish, my 7 month old was very intrigued. Might have been the bright colors that he liked. He kept himself entertained on and off for about an hour. Afterwards, he grew tired and had his nap. I couldn't have asked for a better first flight experience. I'll be purchasing some more toys before the next time we fly!"

Great Toy
"My daughter is 11 months and loves this. The colors are so vibrant and it keeps her entertained. I think its great for her coordination because she uses her little fingers to move the balls up and down the strings."

A Go To Toy
"Fantastic toy. It skwishes to fit in the diaper bag. My four month old has no problem holding it and sliding the beads, and my two year old enjoys that it bounces. But it was my father (a retired math teacher) who was really impressed that my kids were being exposed to all the geometric angles and shapes."

Entertainment for everyone
"My one-year-old daughter "picked" this out in the catalog last Christmas, and to this day, it's still a favorite. My husband and I even find ourselves playing with it. It's great for fine motor skills, and now we talk about the colors and count the balls. Great toy!"

18 years and going strong!
"This was one of our only hand-me-down baby toys and one of the favorites! Slight signs of wear on the colored beads but still perfectly safe and wonderfully engaging for all six kids that have used it."

Great Sounds
"This seems to be very satisfying for our little one. Chewing, shaking, listening to the beads make a little whistling sound when we twist it for her. Great sturdy choice."

Great Toy for first 7 months
"This is one of the best toys out there when babies are learning hand coordination and grasping. It also gives them lots to look at. It is super easy for the little babies to hold. Once they can sit up and move around, it's seems to get somewhat boring."

Best Baby Toy
"My #1 baby gift + my son's favorite toy. Seriously, he learned to hold it around 3/4 months and still plays with it today (he's 10 months.)"

Good quality
"It has nice bright colors and is made well, however my daughter as a baby was not interested in it. Now at almost 3 years old she plays with it as one of her musical instruments because it does make a nice sound."

Baby loved this!
"This is great for the baby from about 4 months to a year. My baby loved to teeth on it. It's great that it's wood, too. It's the new classic toy!"
