If baby has a whale of a good time grasping and gnawing on the Wimmer-Ferguson Whale Textured Silicone Teether, we can testify that this is the objective of our esteemed designers. Baby soothing toy suitable for newborns and up features contours designed for little hands and a mix of smooth black & white surfaces with textured areas for tactile stimulation to please baby’s early natural curiosity, teething needs, and emerging motor skills. Wimmer-Ferguson toy graphics and designs are based on scientific research of visual development in early infancy.
Product Highlights
- BLACK AND WHITE DEVELOPMENTAL TOYS: From Manhattan Toy’s award winning Wimmer-Ferguson infant collection – the original innovator of black and white developmental toys. The patterns of all Wimmer-Ferguson products adapt to baby’s changes in visual development by featuring a range of design complexity and color, inspired by laboratory research.
- WHALE SILICONE TEETHER DETAILS: The Wimmer-Ferguson Silicone Whale teether is soft, durable, food-grade, stain-resistant, hypoallergenic and dishwasher safe – a perfect baby chew toy.
- VISUALLY APPEALING HIGH CONTRAST TOY FOR INFANTS: Professional research has shown that newborns are more attracted to high-contrast patterns than to color or brightness alone. The Wimmer-Ferguson Whale Textured Silicone Teether was designed to encourage pattern recognition. The same whale image is used on several other Wimmer-Ferguson toys to give little ones exposure to repeated patterns and shapes.
