Simple and timeless, this maple wood rattle is one of baby’s first toys. Its lightweight shape is easy for little hands to hold, while the natural sound encourages early sensory exploration. Left untreated and without varnish, the maple wood remains safe for babies who naturally explore objects with their mouths while preserving its natural appearance.

We selected this rattle because it’s a classic that has remained relevant for generations. The untreated maple wood is beautiful on its own, durable enough to be passed from one child to the next, and develops character over time through use.

Produced by the BSZ Foundation in the canton of Schwyz, this rattle is made in workshops that combine skilled craftsmanship with meaningful social inclusion. The foundation supports people with support needs by providing adapted workplaces where practical skills are developed through guidance, repetition and experience. For Maison Myrthus, the natural maple version was deliberately left untreated, allowing the beauty of the wood to remain visible while making it suitable for babies to put in their mouths.
