Once upon a time, a young woman from the UK fell in love with a young man from Bangladesh. Eventually they moved to Bangladesh and had a baby. As the new mother cuddled her tiny boy, she couldn’t help but notice all of the young women streaming into the garment factories every morning. She was deeply saddened when she discovered that many of these woman had babies back home in their villages, left for months at a time with grandparents while the mom worked in the city. Lack of rural employment for women was separating families and putting the mothers in harmful situations and the babies without their mothers. So this new mom did what she could. She gathered a few women around her and taught them how to knit and crochet little dollies that could be sold in the Western markets. Samantha Morshed dreamed that this would grow and become an alternative source of income for women throughout Bangladesh. 15 years later, her dream is becoming a reality. More than 13,000 women are now employed making Pebble toys in their home village. They walk to work, taking their babies with them. There they sit together, yarn spilling onto their laps as they knit community and love together in each heirloom Pebble toy. Pebble was born out of a love for babies and their mothers.

Bought it for a friend with her first baby coming. She liked it how the design is unisex. Got the same rattle in different colors for in between laundry time. Hope her baby will like it too :) Knitted and with the finger size tentacle legs I think the price is reasonable with the extra perk it has to keep-the-drool-in and not too hard when teething time comes.
Such a great first rattle. Very bright coloured and durable.
Love these toys. Huge plus that they are machine washable
Super cute!
It is super cute and really well made. My 10 month old loves it.
Well made and cute. My daughter loves it.
My baby loves this toy and all of the other pebble ones that we have bought him.
