Zebras, I've noticed play a fairly big part in little boys clothing. Before Scarlett was born we didn't know her gender so we brought some gender neutral clothes and some reduced blue sleep suits and vests, which featured zebras in various designs. Little girls are bunnies whilst little boys are zebras.
Whilst looking round for Christmas presents for our little one we found this cute little zebra rattle. The zebra has blue and light blue stripes, small children must get a strange idea about animals! It has a smiley face and a playgro logo on the middle of it. It has a velvety, soft texture to it.
Attached to the main body of the zebra is a clear plastic ring, with half of the ring showing and the other half in the zebra body. In the ring are six fairly large balls of the following colours, green,purple. Red, blue, orange and yellow. They make a pleasing rattling noise when they toy is shaken.
According to playgro's website www.playgro.com.au this rattle enhances visual stimulation because of the contrasting colours, helps auditory stimulation because of the rattling and squeaking (although it doesn't squeak!) and enhances textile stimulations because of the different textures.
So what does Scarlett think of it? I wouldn't say its her favourite toy, but she definitely likes it. She likes anything she can make a noise with, she also likes chewing the plastic ring.
We brought it from a shop called Bear necessities in Maidenhead,Berks. We paid about £5 for it. I've not seen this brand sold anywhere else and have had a good look on the internet and drawn a blank. The playgro website promises to have a postcode locator coming soon, to find out where you can buy products. I'll update this if I can find out where else you can buy playgro stuff from in the UK.

Nice op. I have always been confused about the difference between boys and girls baby clothes (apart from the obvious pinks and blues), because I don't have any children of my own. Thanks for the information about the zebras! Ruth :o)
