Wooden clutching toys are essential for the hands of babies. They trigger the grasp reflex and promote the development process to targeted grabbing. During this process, a lot of sensory impressions will be mediated. They help babies to discover their environment.

This may result in traces of usage due to mechanical friction. The glazing of the beads leaves the fine structure of the wood visible.
