Pick your favorite color of balloon
When you put the baby rattle together, you have to decide which color of balloon you want your baby rattle in. The color must go inside the balloon to create your baby rattle.
There are both white and colorful balloons, so choose one that looks like your baby is enjoying the toy. If you want to add some texture, add a second ball with a different color of balloon.
Make sure to change out the balls and/or pattern every day to keep it interesting. This is important to avoid dryness or developing dry skin, which can lead to cracks or dryness.
These toys are great for newborns because they can grip and play with it without needing any other items or assistance.
Secure the end of the hose to the end of the pipe
When you wrap the hose around the baby, make sure you secure the end of the hose to the end of the pipe. You do this to prevent your baby from being pooped up or suffocated by having too little air or water.
Also, make sure you have enough water or air flow to fill your baby rattle. Your baby may need extra liquid or air to grow and express itself.
For example, smaller babies can make a small ballon sound when they sit up. Or if they are larger, make a soft hush-sound Baby rattle is a great way to introduce sound and sound production to your baby.
Blow up the balloon until it is soft
When the baby is born, let the balloon harden and inflate a few times to let the baby get comfortable. Now tie off the end and give it to your mom or whoever to make into a baby rattle.
Make sure you do not put too much gas in the balloon or your baby will be disappointed. You can also add some rice if you want to make it more interesting.
Twist the balloon around the pipe
Now, pull the other end of the balloon through the other end of the pipe. This creates a loop of balloon and pipe.
Then, wrap your fingers around the middle of the rubberband and lightly push down on it to create a pocket for the baby rattle.
Now, wrap your fingers around one side of the baby rattle and gently pull away to give it a flip. You will hear a snap as it does this!
Poke one end of the baby rattle into the top of your balloon baby and let them bounce around together! If you want to add some textures, do some more twisting and pulling on your baby rattles.
Tie a knot and cut the remaining pipe off
Now that your baby is born, it is time to make your balloon baby rattle. Most babies are teething at this time, which means some of the materials may get pulled out.
You’re done!
If you want to make your baby rattle even more fun, you can add some other materials or patterns. You can try using some soft toy or baby item that matches their skin texture, an adult size piece of cloth diaper material, or a large fuzzy piece of bedding.
Those last two materials may be hard to find, but not impossible! A quick online search will usually turn up something.
Of course, you can also try just making your own. With the right mix of arithmetic and physics, and the right amount of force and rhythm, you may be able to create the perfect sound for your baby to experience in making their rattle.
And if you don’t have any other skills, don’t worry! Making your baby rattle is still a fun skill to practice. Just remember: no matter what, your little one is going to love making a cute noise when they shake it.
Give to a child and watch them enjoy it
When you make your baby rattle you will see why making a baby rattle is so fun. It takes a few tries, but it is worth it!
The first time you make your baby rattle you will need to decide what texture you want the inside of the rattles to have. You can use sand, rice or Graham grains, or even dried fruits such as raisins.
You can also choose to add some tape or thread to the bottom of your baby rattles to make them look more layers of existence. These are helpful if you plan on having more babies as well!
The last tip is to try some sweet songs and sounds to see if you can create for your baby. These can help trigger feelings like pleasure, security and comfort. You can also try using tones that are similar to those in the lyrics of a song so they can hear and feel what is going on.
Try different shapes for different effects
When creating your baby rattle, you can try some different shapes and effects. There are several ways to make a baby rattle. You can use a smooth piece of hard plastic as the rattleself, or you can use wool and wire to create the rattle.
To change up the effect, you can try changing where the baby is seen in the picture. A sliver of wool or metal can look more like a baby’s skin as opposed to a smooth plastic plate.
You can also try changing what type of materials are used. For example, if you have an aluminum baby rattles, you could use coconut oil instead of butter to create the Baby Oil effect.
