Tips for a Baby-Safe Rattle
Always embroider eyes and features on baby items — never safety eyes or beads. Enclose the rattle insert deep in firm stuffing so it cannot shift. Use 100% cotton yarn and secure every seam with extra passes.

Care Instructions
Hand wash gently with baby-safe soap; air dry completely before returning to baby. Inspect seams regularly. Never leave baby unsupervised with any toy.
