As developmental milestones go, we know one thing for sure: expect tears along the way! It’s especially true when it comes to baby cutting his or her first teeth. Sometimes their mood is, well, just a little on the crabby side. We’ve got the perfect companion toy to go with that less than agreeable mood; “The Linking Crab” by Melissa & Doug.
One side of this toy is a frowning crab all in blue, but turn it over and a happy red-faced crustacean smiles back at you. The Linking Crab is appropriately sized for infant hands to grasp and to discover wonderful auditory and sensory play with rattles, squeaks and crinkles placed strategically inside this clever crustacean. Meanwhile, the textured teething rings are claws in disguise that can link onto a stroller or another toy friend.
Made of soft yet durable machine-washable fabric, the Linking Crab is sure to give little ones something to smile about.
