Suitable from 3 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thing worth knowing before anything else: the bunny and the ring do not come apart. There is no join to work loose and nothing small to separate — and it is also the reason this one cannot be sterilised. More on that below, because it is the question we are asked most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🐰 Why a ring and a bunny rather than just a ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring is the part a baby can actually hold. A closed circle suits the way young hands work — fingers curl right round it, and it does not need a thumb, which arrives later. A plain ring, though, is a poor teether: it is all one thickness and all one shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bunny is what makes it useful. The ears are narrow and soft enough to reach the back gums, where the molars come through and where a baby cannot get at the ache with a chunky ring. So the ring does the holding and the bunny does the chewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🧼 One piece, so no sterilising — here is how to clean it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash it in warm soapy water and leave it to drip dry. That is the whole method, and it is not us being casual: because the silicone is fixed to the wood, there is no boiling, no steriliser and no dishwasher. Beech that is repeatedly soaked roughens, darkens and will eventually split, and the seam where silicone meets wood is exactly the place you cannot dry out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry the wooden part with a cloth rather than leaving it wet and it lasts a great deal longer. If being able to sterilise a teether matters to you — and for plenty of parents it does — then an all-silicone one is the honest answer instead. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/silicone-baby-teether\"\u003eAngus the Cavapoo\u003c\/a\u003e takes boiling water and the dishwasher without complaint, and we publish the test reports for our all-silicone range on our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/silicone-product-info\"\u003esilicone information page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e✋ From 3 months, and what it does before teeth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA light ring is one of the first things a baby manages to hang on to, somewhere around three to four months, and holding is the skill they are working on at that point.

A newborn cannot grip, so there is nothing for them to do with it, and we would rather a wooden-ringed teether went to a baby who can hold it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🎨 Four colours, and nothing else changes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeach, Baby Pink, Baby Blue and White Marble.

The first four sets are strong black-and-white contrast for a baby who cannot yet see colour; the 6–12 and 12–36 month sets step up into colour and detail. Suitable from birth with adult supervision. The thing worth knowing before you add one to your basket is that these are six separate sets, not one box covering birth to three — so the only real question is which one you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e👁️ What a newborn can actually see, and why contrast is the whole trick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new baby's eyesight is very much a work in progress. They focus best at roughly 20 to 30cm — about the distance from your chest to your face when you are holding them — and in the first weeks they resolve strong light-and-dark edges far more easily than colour or fine detail. Most of the world is a soft blur at that stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the entire reason black-and-white cards exist. A bold stripe or a thick spiral is one of the few things a two-week-old can genuinely make out, and watching them lock on to it is often the first time you see your baby deliberately look at something.

A 35cm plush toy in a cot with a young baby is a suffocation risk, and no amount of softness changes that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo this is a daytime comforter for the first year: for the pram, the car seat, the play mat, a lap, and the ten minutes of settling before sleep. A common suggestion from health visitors is to hold it yourself during feeds so it picks up your scent, let the baby have it while you settle them, and then lift it out of the cot before you put them down. From a year or so, when your own guidance says so, it can stay in with them.

A newborn's hand is closed most of the time and will not wrap round a 4.5cm handle on purpose, so in the first weeks you do the shaking and they do the listening and looking. From around three months, as hands open and grasping becomes deliberate, a soft, chunky handle is easy to hug and hold — and the big teddy head is easy to grab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e👶 What it does at each stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the first weeks, you shake it and they listen, turning towards the sound — early hearing and attention. From around three months, babies begin to hold a light rattle, and the moment they discover that their own movement makes the noise is one of the first big cause-and-effect lessons.

A rattle answers a swipe; a maraca answers a shake, which is a bigger, more intentional movement. Discovering that your own arm is what makes the noise is one of the first proper cause-and-effect moments a baby has, and it usually lands somewhere between four and six months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📏 15cm each, which is the right length for a reason\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong enough to give a hand that cannot yet aim something to catch hold of anywhere along its length, and short enough not to be unwieldy when they do get it moving.

We used to repeat the line that black and white strengthens a baby's eye muscles and improves their vision. It does not, and we have taken it off this page. What these do is give a newborn something they can actually look at, and something that makes a noise when it moves, which at six weeks old is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🧼 Surface clean only — and these go in the mouth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would rather put this high up than in the small print.

Food-grade platinum silicone, BPA and latex free, dishwasher safe. In bright or muted colours. Suitable from birth.

Put them in order and it stands. A child does not need to be told which is right; the toy tells them, and they work it out by trying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is called self-correction, and it is the reason graduated stackers have been in nurseries for generations. Size ordering — this one is bigger than that one — is a genuine early-maths idea, and this is about the gentlest way to meet it. Expect it to click somewhere between eighteen months and two years. Before that, the sections come off, go in the mouth and get thrown, all of which is exactly right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e👶 From birth, in stages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated from birth, and honest about it. In the early months it is something to look at and, from around three or four months, a single soft section is easy to grip. From six months everything is chewed, and soft silicone with nothing hard in it is what you want in a mouth. Taking the flower apart arrives long before rebuilding it — the order comes last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🌸 Why a flower rather than rings on a pole\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no pole. A traditional ring stacker has a central post, and the post is the bit that gets chewed, pulled out and lost. Here the sections sit on each other, so there is nothing rigid to poke an eye or a mouth, and nothing to go missing that would make the rest useless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade is that without a pole the tower is a little less stable — the sections have to be balanced rather than threaded. That makes it slightly harder for a younger child to build tall, and a little more satisfying when they manage it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🎨 Bright or muted\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo colourways.

These cups are open. Water goes in the top and straight out through the base, nothing is sealed, and every surface can be seen, rinsed and dried. Stand them upside down after the bath and they are dry by morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shaped holes are what make them good in water rather than just tolerable in it. Each cup lets water through differently, so filling one and lifting it becomes a small experiment — fast, slow, one stream, a shower. It is cause and effect in its plainest form, and it buys a few calm minutes at hair-washing time.

Turned over, the docking slots let them sit on one another to build a tower 23.5cm tall, taller than any of our other silicone stackers and much more satisfying to knock down.

In the early months a cup is something to look at and, from around three or four months, the smallest is easy to hold. From six months everything is chewed, and soft silicone with no hard edges is what you want in a mouth. Then come filling and tipping, knocking towers over, nesting, and finally building — the cups are useful at every one of those stages, which is why they last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🔬 What we have had tested\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis toy has been tested by an independent laboratory as a finished toy, not just as material, along with every one of our silicone stackers — for small parts that could come away on a toy meant for a child under three, for sharp edges and points, for flammability, and for lead, other heavy metals and phthalates.

It works perfectly well, and it also means that for two or three years your kitchen is decorated by a toy company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set is the alternative: rounded shapes, no character, no printing, three muted tones that sit quietly on a wooden table. We should be straight about what that is and is not. A plain plate does not help a baby eat. It is an aesthetic choice, and wanting your house to look like your house is a perfectly reasonable thing to want — we would rather say that than dress it up as a developmental benefit. If mealtimes need actual help, our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/dinosaur-baby-feeding-set\"\u003edinosaur set\u003c\/a\u003e is the one that gets a reluctant child to sit down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📅 When each of the six pieces actually starts earning its keep\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pieces do not all come into use on the same day, and we would rather set that out than let you wonder why half the box is in a cupboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe bib — the first day of solids.\u003c\/strong\u003e The piece used most, hardest and longest.

The bowl is the opposite: one deep 400ml section, 12cm across and 8.5cm tall, for purée, porridge, yoghurt and anything wet enough to need a spoon. Between them they cover both kinds of meal, which two plates would not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl is only available in our feeding sets.

Wipe both the tray and the base first — a wet seal is a weak seal — and press down from the middle outwards. Neither will hold on a ridged or textured tray, or on bare wood with a grain, and no suction base will. Worth knowing on this set in particular: at 153g the plate is our lightest, so once the suction is broken it is the easiest to shift. On a high chair tray you will not notice; on an open dining table you might.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🔬 What we have actually had tested\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur silicone plates and bowls were tested as finished products to \u003cstrong\u003eEN 14372:2004\u003c\/strong\u003e, the European standard written specifically for children's feeding utensils, across 15 samples covering 13 colours — migration of elements, phthalate content, volatile compounds, formaldehyde release and bisphenol A release, with nothing detected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bowl from the range was separately tested by \u003cstrong\u003eEurofins\u003c\/strong\u003e against \u003cstrong\u003eLFGB\u003c\/strong\u003e Sections 30 and 31, the German food-contact standard and among the strictest anywhere.

Food-grade platinum silicone, free from BPA, PVC, latex and phthalates, dishwasher safe. In pastel or muted. Suitable from birth. Of our six silicone stackers this is the one for the child who points at every car, bus and digger in the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🚗 For the child who loves vehicles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome children will stack anything; others need a reason. A toy shaped like the thing they already love gets picked up first and put down last, and for a lot of toddlers that thing is a car. Here the reward for getting the layers back in the right order is a car they recognise, which is a much better incentive than a neat tower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo be clear about what it is: this is a stacking puzzle in the shape of a car, not a push-along car. It is made of soft silicone so it can be chewed and squashed safely, and it is not designed to be wheeled across the floor. For a car that rolls, our wooden vehicles do that job; this one is for building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🧩 A first puzzle with a right answer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the layers only rebuild the car in one order, it asks a child to look at shape and position as well as size — a step on from simply putting big under small. Expect it to come apart from the first months it is handled, and to go back together correctly somewhere well into the second year. In between, the pieces get sorted, chewed, lined up and carried about, all of which counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e👶 From birth, in stages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated from birth, and honest about it. In the early months it is something to look at, and from around three or four months the built car is a comfortable size to hold. From six months it goes in the mouth, and soft silicone with no hard edges is what you want there. Rebuilding it in order comes last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🔬 What we have had tested\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis toy has been tested by an independent laboratory as a finished toy, not just as material, along with every one of our silicone stackers — for small parts that could come away on a toy meant for a child under three, for sharp edges and points, for flammability, and for lead, other heavy metals and phthalates. It passed on every count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeparately, the solid silicone itself was tested by CTI, an accredited laboratory, with nothing detected in migration of 19 elements under EN 71-3, phthalates, 553 PFAS, 15 PAHs, or any of the 247 REACH substances of very high concern.

Molars come through at the sides and back, which is where a baby most wants pressure and cannot get it from a ring.

Suitable from 6 months. It is the larger of our two silicone vehicles, and the open load bed is the reason to pick it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🪣 Filling it and tipping it out is the actual game\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomewhere around ten to fourteen months, most babies become completely absorbed by putting things into containers and taking them out again. It looks repetitive and it is — it is also how they work out that objects carry on existing when they are out of sight, and that a hand can be made to let go on purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn open truck bed is a container that moves, which is a step up from a box. Wooden blocks, a sock, three raisins, a smaller toy: it all goes in, gets driven somewhere, and gets tipped out. Our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/silicone-toy-ambulance\"\u003esilicone ambulance\u003c\/a\u003e is the same idea without the bed — smaller, closed, better for a pocket. This is the one to buy if you want a vehicle that does something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🧸 Bought at six months, it becomes a truck at one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA six-month-old does not play with vehicles. They grab, bang and mouth, and a soft silicone truck is a very good thing to do all three to — no hard edges, nothing to chip, and enough shape to get a whole hand round. Actual truck play, the pushing and the loading, arrives months later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is unusual value in a baby toy: the same object earns its keep at the grabbing stage and again at the pushing stage, which is most of a year apart. Few toys at this price are still in use that long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🤫 Soft wheels, which cuts both ways\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilicone grips. That means this truck travels about a hand's width when pushed and then stops, and it is almost silent on floorboards — no clatter, nothing shooting under the sofa, nothing marking a skirting board. With a baby on a rug, that is exactly right: the truck stays where they put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf what you want is a car that races across a room for a two-year-old, this is the wrong toy and we would rather tell you now.

Our silicone plates and bowls were tested as finished products to \u003cstrong\u003eEN 14372:2004\u003c\/strong\u003e, the European standard for children's feeding utensils, across 15 samples covering 13 colours, with nothing detected in migration of elements, phthalate content, volatile compounds, formaldehyde release or bisphenol A release. A bowl from the range was separately tested by \u003cstrong\u003eEurofins\u003c\/strong\u003e to \u003cstrong\u003eLFGB\u003c\/strong\u003e Sections 30 and 31, the German food-contact standard and among the strictest anywhere, where it passed overall migration, peroxide value and volatile organic matter testing, with no bisphenol A detected and no perceptible odour or taste passing into food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would rather be precise about what that covers. Those are tests on the material, and on finished feeding products made from it — not on this truck.
