in $1 - $10, Rattles, Sassy

The Curious Crab Rattle is a brightly colored crab-shaped rattle made by Sassy/LeapFrog.  The crab is made with clear claws that contain colorful beads that rattle when shaken. He also has vibrant colored crinkle fabric for his feet with the names of the colors on each foot to help a baby learn and recognize colors.  The crab is complete with a happy open smiling face that doubles as a handle for a baby’s small hands.

Pros:

  • Toy is designed with bright colors to attract an interest a baby.
  • Rattle and crinkle sounds created by this toy allow for cause and effect learning, as well as audio stimulation.
  • Crab mouth works well as a handle for small hands to be able to grasp, hold, and shake.
  • The varying colors and fabrics of this toy make it perfect for tactile investigation.
  • The varying colors of the feet help baby to learn and recognize colors.

Cons:

  • The crab’s body is made of hard plastic that could injure a child or parent if swung or thrown like a weapon.
  • Only soft parts on this toy are the feet, which are not easily held by a teething baby.  Some children may have  hard time grasping and holding on to the handle.
  • The hard plastic of the crab’s body and claws can get broken or cracked with repeated dropping, so it needs to be checked regularly for any sharp edges that could cut a baby.

I keep the Baby Curious Crab Rattle in my 7-month old daughter’s diaper bag. This is a great toy to take with us on the go, it is small enough to fit easily in her diaper bag or my purse and interesting enough to keep he entertained for hours. My daughter and I both love this rattle.
