Confirming:

The silicone beads are easy to string onto a wax cord or satin cord. Knot the oval silicone beads on the teething ring very securely and several times. These beads work well as an intermediate disc between the letter beads. This provides not only a nice visual variation but also helps to round out a teething ring when you want to use letter beads. The silicone letter beads are actually square. Using them in teething rings without an intermediate disc creates a segment that resists bending and wants to stay straight. The oval intermediate discs, because of their shape, allow that segment to bend again. Even when used in a pacifier chain, the chain remains more flexible.

The cleaning:

These oval silicone beads are therefore suitable for both babies and older children who like to bite on something. The beads are suitable for CE‑certified end products and are sturdy. They hardly wear out. The beads are also easy to clean. These silicone beads can be placed easily in the dishwasher or in soapy water. Let them dry thoroughly before you give them back to a little one. The silicone beads can also be cooled in the fridge, making them very useful as pain relief for teething.

Always secure the silicone beads properly and regularly check your creations, for example for wear and tear. You are personally responsible for this. Jootjes Haakcadeautjes does not inspect your finished product and cannot take responsibility for damage or detachment due to wear and tear. Our advice is to only let handmade teething toys be used under adult supervision to prevent dangerous situations.

What do these Beads go well with?

Responding to the development of a baby's vision?

This is how the development of a little one's vision generally progresses:

A baby can see, around one month of age, primarily sharp contrasts between dark and light. Contours then become discernible very slowly, and the basics of colour become visible. This starts with the colours red and green, and only later with the colours blue and yellow. Blue remains for a long time more of a shade of gray/black. The true “blue” is not seen until about six months of development. Of course, that doesn’t mean it can’t be a nice variation with another coloured bead. Apart from the colours, a baby starts to look for more details from about two months of age.
