Rattlefish Wooden Rattle / Teether
A wooden fish clutching toy with two BPA-free plastic rings that jingle gently when shaken — made for exactly the hand-mouthing window, grasping, shaking, and exploring. Made in Germany from beech with water-based stains. A documented brand testing program stands behind it.
Lucky Shamrock Silicone Teether
A shamrock-shaped silicone teether with several textured surfaces to massage sore gums, plus a ladybug for little fingers to find. Encourages reaching, grabbing, and play while it soothes. A documented brand testing program stands behind it.
Rainbow Fabric Ball
A soft rainbow ball with eight different sensory effects — it rattles, crinkles, and invites rolling and tummy-time reach. Machine washable, so it survives the mouthing stage. A documented brand testing program stands behind it.
Silicone Teether — Moose
A moose-shaped textured teether in food-grade silicone, rounded on every side with no edge to catch a lip or finger, light enough for a small hand to lift. Most chewing happens well before the first tooth shows, and this is built for exactly that. Food-grade silicone only: no platinum-cure or LFGB claim is made for this brand.
First Stacking Ring — Pastel
Start learning about size and order with this stacking ring: four pastel rings plus a top ball on a center rod that folds for safety if pressed. Preservative-free rubberwood, formaldehyde-free E-Zero glue, made in PlanToys' owned SA-8000 factory to ASTM/EN71. Two public lab reports name this item.
Animal Parade Blocks
Twenty-five beech-wood blocks in animal designs, with a storage bag, made in Germany. Stack them, line them up, and build animals from the blocks themselves — the zebra in the photo is built from the set.
Rainbow Whirls
A beech peg board with colored pegs and rings for sorting by color, stacking, and counting, finished in non-toxic water-based stain and made in Germany. One caveat from parent reviews: the pegs are small, so supervise if your child still mouths objects.
Play World on the Farm
Twenty-three wooden farm pieces — Farmer Tim, his tractor, animals, trees, fences, and more — in a carrying case that opens into a farmhouse play scene, with game ideas from HABA's editors for storytelling play. Made in Germany.
14-Piece Magnetic Block Set (Tints)
Fourteen magnetic hardwood blocks in five shapes — 2 medium columns, 4 short planks, 4 long planks, 2 cubes, 2 parallelograms — that click together and defy gravity, finished in non-toxic water-based lacquer. Sustainably harvested hardwood, made in Honduras.

Seventy solid-wood pieces: 15 colorful cubes, half cylinders, 18 planks in 18 colors, 9 geometric shapes plus 2 arches, 4 play people, wheels, dowels, and a toggle string that turns the storage box into a pull car — plus 6 threading blocks, a drawstring bag, and an activity guide with 20+ activities. $95, direct from Lovevery.

Organic Cotton Lion Lovey (8″)
A sweet lion lovey in super-absorbent grey terrycloth with a grey-striped mane and embroidered face — stuffed hands and feet double as a teether. 8″ tall, made of 100% Organic Egyptian Cotton, GOTS-certified, and free of azo colorants, BPA, flame retardants, formaldehyde, fragrance, PVC, and lead.
Wooden rattle trio
Natural wood + silicone, mouse, rabbit, chick. The fullest receipt in this section: three public SGS test reports naming this item (ASTM F963-17, EN 71-12, AS/NZS ISO 8124).
DUPLO Deluxe Brick Box (10914)
The progression: open-ended building, counting, spatial play. Same per-item certificate system as the train — same long receipt.
DUPLO My First Animal Train (10412)
The first “real” building set: fine motor (pressing bricks), early problem-solving. The anchor purchase of the toddler years — and the set whose certificate you can pull up by item number.
