Manhattan Toy Winkel #200940 Review

The Manhattan Toy Winkel #200940, with its crazy-maze style tubing, is brightly colored and immediately strikes the eye, engages and grabs the infant’s attention.

The pliable plastic tubes, going in and out in different directions, offer several different benefits. Firstly, the tangles of brightly colored tubes are fairly thin. This makes them perfect for little hands to grasp. Because the Winkel is easy to grip from any angle, it is great for encouraging hand-eye coordination and two-handed play. Two-handed play is an early development objective and it is helpful for infants to get an opportunity to work on this.

Whichever way the tangles of brightly colored tubes are held, the little ones (recommended age 3-months to 1-year) can grasp and hold in a way that the toy can be put in the mouth – making for a great cooling and soothing teether.

Reviews & Ratings

The Manhattan Toy Winkel is a light weight, teether toy. It is easy-to-hold. Easy-to-clean, and has a little rattle in middle that appears much like a dice.

Babies will be amused and engaged by the simple rattle, which is often cursed by parents who detest toys making constant irritating noises, but fortunately with the Winkel the rattle isn’t nowhere near loud enough to be hateful to others.

Comments on the negative side; some parents say the toy might be a little too heavy for the babies at the lowest end of the recommended age bracket, especially if playing one-handed. Although, this toy is really a two-handed plaything, so this shouldn’t really be a problem.

If searching to a baby’s toy that is easy to grasp, offers stimulating colors, will not hurt if hit with, and can be put in the mouth (without concern), then this toy is able to get a positive tick next to all these points.
