Bannor Toys Wooden Rattle

Bannor Toys is a small US workshop hand-making wooden baby toys to a properly old-school standard — lathed maple, beeswax-and-mineral-oil finish, hand-strung beads. Pricier than mainstream rattles ($25–$40) but they’re heirloom-grade. The kind of baby toy you’d expect to find on a high shelf at a Vermont farmhouse. Lasts forever and looks better with age.
