Manhattan Skwish - teaching babies through developmental play
Written by Suzanne Catchpole

Baby can squish, squash, crumple, shake and twist this fascinating toy to their heart's content, and it will always retain
its original shape. The
Manhattan Skwish
is designed to appeal
to a baby's insatiable curiosity about interacting with the physical
environment - grasping and playing with objects allows them to explore
their world and form an idea of their place within it and the ways in
which they can affect it.
We have one of these in the toy box and I
must say its one of the first toys my baby goes for. The elastic
structure makes for a fluid and changeable form, without the
worry that it will be easily broken. It is adorned with brightly
coloured wooden beads and simply bounces back into shape when
manipulated. No wonder the Skwish is an award winner! It's been
delighting babies around the world for over a decade.
Local postage is free and it comes in a useful calico bag from
My Wooden Toys. The Skwish costs $26.50 and is the perfect xmas present.
