Merging the best qualities of our classic baby beads and soft loop teethers, our Wimmer-Ferguson Loopsy teether and clutching toy borrows on the significance of black and white contrast in helping babies develop visually. These wooden clutching beads are designed for tiny hands to reach for, grab, pull, twist, and teeth onﾖ engaging their gross motor skills, and finding comfort during their teething time. The Wimmer-Ferguson collection by Manhattan Toy also offers a variety of toys with features to benefit other key areas of an infant's developmental growth including: eye-hand coordination, gross motor activity, self-awareness, sense of object permanence, and experience with cause and effect. Since 1979, Manhattan Toy has been making award-winning, high quality, educational toys for your baby, toddler or kid. From infant toys and baby toys to sensory development toys, our goal is to provide the safest and best toys available. All of our products, from the newest concepts to our time-tested classics, are innovatively designed to inspire imaginative play and are routinely safety tested to pass strict CPSC, ASTM, EN71 and Health Canada safety standards.
