Clatterbangs are classic toys that make clickety-clack type sounds as the wooden beehive shaped beads and wooden squares move and bang against each other. The piece of wood has been carefully selected for natural beauty and strength. Only American hardwoods or exotics have been chosen as these are best for durability and can take the banging against each other. Walnut, Wenge, Padauk, Oak, Mahogany, Maple, Teak, and many others are some examples of the woods that may be included. Every clatterbang is different and unique with randomly selected wood. The 7 beads and 7 squares have been strung with a cotton made thick cord and are freely movable, except for 1 bead that is glued in place to secure the two ends of the cord to keep everything secure. The whole piece is made loose enough to allow movement and for a small hand to wear on a wrist safely, but not big enough to get over anyone's head for safety. Each piece of wood has been sanded to a smooth surface and finished with beeswax and jojoba oil. KnottyWoodLove uses Three BEEautiful Bees wax exclusively as it is non-toxic and is food safe and safe for children. It protects the wood while bringing out the natural tones and wood grain. It is not advised to play with wood toys in water due to potential damage to the wood.
This toy may be found helpful for those that are sensory seekers looking for a tactile and/or auditory response. The beads provide a nicely ridged surface and can be turned between fingers while the pleasantly smooth wooden squares can be rubbed repeatedly providing stimuli for those needing a fidget solution.
This toy is an earth friendly, handmade, wooden product.
