Bill the Duck & Stick Rattle

This adorable set is an ideal gift for a newborn bub. Bill the Duck was born on the Scorpio/Sagittarius cusp: he is blessed with both the deep emotional life of a water sign & the wild-child rebellions of a fire sign (hence the Mohawk). This mix of compassion & passion makes Bill an incredibly loyal & fun friend. That being said, Bill doesn’t always know when to keep his blunt bill tightly closed. He often quacks out his thoughts & observations before considering how they sound. Bill’s longtime pond-mate Snowy the Goose got her tail-feathers in quite the ruffle when Bill remarked loudly at Charlie the Chicken’s birdy birthday bash that if Snowy stared at handsome Rupert the Rooster any harder, she would burn a hole in his fine red crest. Cheeky youngster Bubba Rooster couldn’t stop cackling at Bill’s faux-pas, & poor Bill spent days waddling after a mortified Snowy begging for forgiveness.

Unlike squeakers, which are short-lived & unintuitive for babies to use without assistance, the sound the rattle makes when babies hold or move it stimulates action-reaction learning, providing babies & toddlers with an instant reward & helping them understand cause & effect.
