While she’s not teething yet, our little one is just starting to be able to hold things, and then choosing to put it in her mouth. The matchstick monkey is PERFECT. Her tiny fingers can grip onto all parts of the monkey and she loves giving it a good chomp. The colours are bright to keep her attention, especially during tummy time. Again, she’s too young to have used it as a teethed but as an early toy it is amazing!
