5 out of 5 starsThis rattle is super cute, and my grand baby took it and it immediately went to her mouth. Haha babies do the darnedest things.Shipping was fast and I loved the little cloth bag it came in. It made a nice presentation.

5 out of 5 starsWow, what a beautiful handmade piece this is. It is larger and more substantial than what you’d think of as a “rattle”, it is more like the size of a small stuffed animal. Perfect gift for a newborn. The shape makes it easy for a baby to grasp so is practical. The knit itself is very tight, making the rattle sturdy. High quality all around. Hard to believe someone MADE this!! If you are looking for a baby gift that is original, colorful, crafty but sophisticated, this is it. I could not be happier with my purchase. My friend loved it, as did her baby. Definitely my go-to baby gift from now on!!
About
Dreaming up Rainbow Crawlers. Literally...
Little me spent a lot of time at grandma's house. In the good-old 90s Netflix, YouTube etc. didn't exist yet to distract a curious young lady from life. To keep me busy, my grandma taught me everything she knew: sewing, embroidery, knitting, machine sewing, cooking and of course: crochet. I loved it. Even though I had a ton of other creative interests throughout the years, working with yarn always had a special place in my heart.
So how did Rainbow Crawlers actually happen??
Ok, this is a weird story and I promise I didn't make it up! A few years ago I made the first Crawler (even though I didn't know it at the time) for my friend's baby. I wanted something unique. Something nobody else can buy off amazon. As leo as I am, I had to make the pattern myself instead of following somebody else's. Anyway, she loved it!
Ok fine. Now I made more and here you go? No...
After I made that first rattle, that was it. I didn't think anymore. BUT THEN---months and months later, I DREAMED about it. Ok, that was weird. Where the heck did that come from? Whatever. The next night, I dreamed about it AGAIN. This time I actually dreamed about making all kinds of different ones! Ok, it gets even stranger: On the third night, I brainstormed a potential name —Wait, hang on... I work as an Art Director, so this is what I do for a living, ok?— Anyway, I did the typical process (Yes, still in my dream) What's typical baby? Cute, butterflies and RAINBOWS.... What do they do? Pooping, crying, CRAWLING... Okay, okay. I don't remember the exact thought process. All I know is that I woke up with a name in my head and figured I give destiny (or my sneaky subconscious) a chance. So I got RainbowCrawlers.com, that morning, in my PJ's. I was determined to make it work—follow my dream and make Rainbow Crawlers come to life.
