Shake him and he rattles.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNewborns can't do very much on purpose yet — which makes the first time they realise they've \u003cem\u003ecaused\u003c\/em\u003e something rather a big deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTim is built for exactly that moment. Give him a squeeze and he makes a cheerful little sound. Give him a shake and he rattles. Before long your baby works out that the noise isn't just happening — they're making it happen. That's cause and effect landing, and it's one of the first big ideas a person ever has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLots of different things to feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTim is a proper patchwork of textures: soft plush fabric, smooth vegan leather and raised embroidered details, all in one small tiger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat variety is the point. Babies learn an enormous amount through their hands and mouths, and a toy with several different surfaces gives them far more to investigate than a single-texture one. Every new texture is new information about how the world feels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSomething to follow with their eyes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold Tim up and move him slowly and your baby will track him — which is exactly the practice their developing eyesight needs. Visual tracking is a skill that builds week by week in those early months, and the squeak gives them a reason to keep looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSound, sight and touch all working together in one toy. That's what makes a genuinely multi-sensory toy worth having.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSized for very small hands\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 7.5 x 5 x 13.5cm he's light and slim enough for a newborn to be helped to hold, and just right for an older baby to grab, wave and pass from hand to hand — another small milestone worth celebrating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe fits in a changing bag, clips happily into pram life, and weighs almost nothing.
