Channapatna Wooden Tic-Tic Toy

This craft from Channapatna embraces the time-honoured technique of chiselling locally harvested ivory wood into precise forms. Skilled artisans use specialised tools to shape and then smoothen, finally assembling and decoratively painting these pieces with non-toxic, natural dyes. Providing exceptional auditory and visual stimulation whilst promoting cognitive and sensory development in infants, wooden rattles like this tic-tac toy also foster gross motor coordination skills, including hand grasping and arm extension.
