La Bouilloire Noire shows how to make a pair of baby rattles for the geeky set. One is the Yoda rattle you see here. The other is one made to look like the ever logical Mr. Spock. These would make awesome gifts for a new baby! Get the tutorial.
Note: Check out this post at Softie Making for info on how to insert bells into a softie toy, particularly one intended for a baby.

Wondering why there is a new hype on Yoda or Baby Yoda? Have you seen the Star Wars show The Mandalorian
? Well everyone loved Yoda the first time around and now that he is baby Yoda he is even more adorable. This project is easily adapted for a Baby Yoda pattern, craft project and or tutorial.
Along the same lines as baby gear safety, rattles should not be purchased second hand. Parents can just imagine where the rattle has been along its path to the second hand store.
