Thus, by using one toy for a long time, it can contribute to the protection of resources. Moreover, it also has a positive effect on the growth of children, as they naturally learn to take good care of things.

The play gym 1 further has the following various features. That is, first, in the case of the rattles 13, the baby grips the body 40 and swings around, so that not only the function as a “tower” that is a general toy is exerted, but also the ball 41 is supported by the spindle 42. Since the ball 41 is rotatably supported by the ball 41, when the ball 41 is manually rotated around the support shaft, the beads 48 inside the ball move with the rotation of the ball 41, and a sound is generated at this time. In this case, by learning the action of the child touching and rotating the ball 41 with his / her hand, it is possible to learn that a sound different from that when the rattle 13 is simply swung is generated.

In addition, since the ball 41 is transparent, the child can observe the state inside the ball, for example, the state that the beads 48 bounce inside the ball, which can attract the interest of the child.

Further, since the fin member 46 is rotatably supported by the support shaft portion 42, when the ball 41 is rotated, the fin member 41 inside the ball rotates around the ball 41. This amplifies the sound and keeps the child from getting bored. Further, since it is possible to observe how the fin member 46 and the beads 48 inside the ball rotate via the ball 41, it is possible to attract the interest of the child by the visual effect.

Therefore, according to the rattle of the present embodiment, the child can enjoy while playing both visually and aurally, and can be used for a relatively long period from infants to infants.

By engaging the engaging recess 40a formed in the body portion 40 of the rattle 13 with the lateral frame 8 of the play gym 1, it is possible to rotate and play the entire rattle 13. In this case, since the rattle 13 can be used as one play mode of the play gym 1 in combination with the play gym 1, the range of play is widened.

Next, in the case of the airplane 27, since the engaging groove portion 51 and the engaging concave portion 52 with which the rattle 13 can be engaged are formed, the child removes the airplane 27 from the rail portion 4 and removes it. The rattle 13 can be engaged with the airplane 27 and the two can be combined.

By doing so, the balls 41 at both ends of the rattle function as wheels of the airplane 27. As a result, the child should imagine an airplane flying in the sky when the airplane 27 is suspended on the rail section 4 of the play gym 1, and an airplane running on the runway when the airplane 27 is united with the straddle 13. And, it will start to arouse the imagination of children.
