5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality toy, April 6, 2007

This is a good quality wooden toy. It's not a loud rattle. The eyes move around, which creates the soft wooden clicking sound of a rattle. It's large enough for a young child to grasp easily (I can fit four fingers through the monkey's mouth to grasp it), and the color is bright enough to capture a baby's attention. It's also durable enough to withstand rough use. Very cute, and gently entertaining.

2.0 out of 5 stars Love Melissa & Doug products, but not the rattles!, April 27, 2009

I had my doubts about ANY rattle that was made of wood, let alone a painted one. We have this and the fish rattle by Melissa & Doug; both have cracked and peeled with even the most minimal exposure to moisture (drooling and teething tend to be pretty wet experiences). Also, all toys, especially those which go straight into the mouth (which is most of them) have to be washed a LOT. Another issue is that this is really going to hurt when babies smack themselves in the head with it, and they probably will, depending upon the age of the child.

Both rattles look terrible, with chipped, fading paint. They were cute (at first) and appealing, on the plus side. I would not recommend these, or give them as gifts, to anyone with an infant. They seem to be more decorative than functional. We have always had Melissa & Doug products and really enjoy them, but will probably steer clear of their baby items.

I loved this rattle the minute I saw it. It's made very well & safe for baby as are all of the toys from the Melissa & Doug line. My 7 month old loves to stare at the colorful monkey and he laughs when the monkey's eyes move around. It's just a simple yet adorable rattle with the cutest monkey face you've ever seen. My son loves it and so does anyone else who sees it & asks me where I got it.
