Abacus Rattle-Tolo

3+ months

• Encourage gripping and shaking. Let your baby try this independently before stepping in to help, if necessary. 
• Show your baby how to move each abacus piece from side to side. 
• Show your baby how to spin the abacus pieces 
• Encourage lots of free play and noise with this simple but effective toy. 
• Encourage simple counting with the abacus pieces - even if your infant is too young to understand numbers, talking and communicating will help later sound recognition and language development.
