Harold Hound Teether Rattle by MAMAS & PAPAS LTD.Name: Harold Hound Teether Rattle
Company: MAMAS & PAPAS LTD.
Age: All Ages
Price: $17.99
Category: Infant & Toddler

What Is It?
A white plastic O-ring teether, decorated in orange stripes, forms the middle portion of a friendly looking hound dog made of motley plush. His long gingham blanket-stitched ears crunch when they’re crinkled and his head rattles when it’s shaken. He has blue hind legs, an orange tail, a blue smiling face and a big yellow nose. The fabric is polyester and the crunching in his ears is from the cellophane lining inside.

What We Thought
This is a rattle that kids will want to keep around past infancy. Harold has a sweet and goofy face that will endear both parents and kids. Made of brightly colored solid and patterned fabrics, Harold is a patchwork of lovability.

Why They’ll Want It
Babies will like to gnaw on Harold’s bright yellow nipple-like nose, and gum the plastic teether. There’s a lot to grab and bite on this little toy. The crunchy ears will help infants develop motor skills and have the same kind of textural, aesthetic appeal that bubble wrap has for adults. The toy is well made and, though it’s a perfectly utilitarian teether and rattler, definitely has a longer life than most infant toys: Kids will be playing with this toy well into their 2s and 3s or even beyond.
