Hand made, crocheted rattling snake. Rattle snake is made in a cottage industry in Ho Chi Minh city where country or poor students needing work to cover their study and living costs are trained to make these toys and receive fair pay for their work. 15% of profits from these products is reinvested in expanding the training to homeless and orphaned adolescents in South Vietnam.
So this toy is good for the world, and great for the play basket. It has a bumpy feel and gives down-to-earth sensory input. It's a great little character and we love to include her in our crossing the midline activities, learning to write letters and shapes in the air, and in our imaginative play.
