White Bunny Baby Rattle in Organic Cotton

White Bunny Baby Rattle — plain, soft, and entirely gift-proof

A white knitted bunny with long floppy ears and a gentle rattle inside, made from 100% organic cotton with recycled stuffing. 26cm from feet to ear tips, light enough for a newborn to be handed, and suitable from birth.

🤍 White on purpose

Plain white is the safest thing you can buy for a baby you haven't met yet. It suits any nursery, offends nobody's colour scheme, and sidesteps the pink-or-blue question entirely — which is why this is the one that gets bought for baby showers, where the baby is still theoretical. It also photographs beautifully, for whatever that's worth at 4am.

🐰 The ears are the handle

Long floppy ears are the first thing a baby manages to grab, and they're soft enough to be chewed with enthusiasm. The knitted body squashes comfortably into a small fist and doesn't spring back into a shape that pushes hands away.

🔔 A gentle rattle, nothing electronic

The rattle is sewn inside and sounds only when the bunny is moved. It's soft rather than sharp — no buttons, no batteries, nothing to replace, and nothing to make you wince when it's found at six in the morning.

🌿 Organic cotton, recycled filling, and where the profit goes

The knit is 100% organic cotton and the stuffing is 100% recycled. Best Years also put the profits from toys like this one into preschools for disadvantaged children — they've built several for the children of the people who make their toys. Worth a mention on the gift tag.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Isn't a white toy a terrible idea?
It would be, if it didn't wash. This one goes in the machine at 30°C or below, which is the only reason we're happy selling a white bunny to a household with a baby in it. Wash him cool, reshape the ears while damp, and he comes back looking like himself.

What age is he for?
From birth. He's a first-toy and first-rattle bunny — held for him early on, grabbed and shaken from around three or four months, and chewed thereafter.

How big is he?
26cm from feet to ear tips, so taller than he looks in a photograph, but slim and light rather than bulky. He fits a changing bag and a cot equally well.

How loud is the rattle?
Gentle, and only when he moves. Nothing that will startle a newborn or wake a sleeping one.

Is he a comforter?
He can become one — plenty do — but he's a knitted rattle rather than a flat comforter designed for sleep. If a sleep companion is what you're after, our comforters are the better shape for small hands to hold onto through the night.

Does he make a good gift?
He's close to the ideal new-baby present: suitable from day one, organic, machine washable, and white, so it doesn't matter that you don't know the nursery colours or, for that matter, the baby's name yet.

🔔 Other first rattles, and other bunnies

This is the plain, gift-safe one. If you're choosing:

• Highland Cow Knitted Baby Rattle — smaller at 16cm, with a rainbow stripe jumper. More character, less neutral.
• Crochet Peapod Rattle — organic cotton again, but tiny and crocheted, for the very earliest weeks.
• Cream Bunny Organic Comforter — a flatter bunny built for sleep rather than shaking.
• Bonnie Bunny Comforter — plush with silicone teethers, for a baby who wants something firm to bite.
