Over the holidays, I purchased a toy for dear friends of ours who have a ten month old. I thought I was so right on the money when I picked Moby, HABA’s newest clutching toy. Meant for kids 6 months and up, the toy is a fish whose body is composed of different colored wooden discs which are held together by an elastic spine, so the fish can bend and move, just like a real fish, but his spine always magically realigns. Also, he has a rattle in his head and when you do move him around, the wooden discs make a great clacking noise. Bonus – the toy is made in Germany (not China).
When I showed my husband, the first thing he said was “wow, that thing looks like a penis.”
You be the judge.
By the way, the child loved it.
