What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026

This is a replacement rattle module from APH's Fine Motor Development Materials Kit, designed for young children who are blind or have low vision. The rattle provides auditory and tactile feedback that helps infants and toddlers develop reaching, grasping, and hand-to-hand transfer skills when visual cues aren't available. This is a replacement part only — it's intended for families or programs that already own the Fine Motor Development Materials Kit (catalog number 1-08420-00) and need to replace a worn or lost piece. Worth noting: APH has discontinued this product, so availability may be limited to existing stock.
