Did you know that rattan is the plant used in the ancient wicker basket-weaving technique dating back all the way to the Egyptians? Remember the story of Baby Moses in the wicker basket floating down the Nile? That basket was made of rattan.<\/p>\n

Because of its malleability, weaving rattan into different patterns provides a tactile texture for small hands as they encounter the world. Pleasing textures give them proprioceptive information that tells your child where they are in space. This haptic way of learning does wonders for their brain development. Add to it the auditory stimulation offered by the rattle, and your child has their very first instrument in their hands, which will also stimulate their visual function as they hear the sound and turn their eyes to look at it, bringing a smile to their face and yours.<\/p>\n<\/div>

rattan, a natural and renewable material<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rattan is a fast-growing climbing plant that can be found in the old-growth tropical forests of Southeast Asia. Unlike bamboo, rattan canes are not hollow, and their pliability makes them suitable for use in wicker furniture, baskets and other handicrafts. Their lightweight and warm quality brings an airy, open feeling to any room, adding allure and visual focus to any d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n<\/div>

a story that resonates<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to rattan\u2019s unique qualities, it\u2019s no surprise that it\u2019s had a comeback in recent years as a popular material for furniture and other household items, especially considering the demand for eco-friendly alternatives to plastic. It is even lauded as a more sustainable option than wood. Its lightweight nature makes it easy to transport \u2013 even if it\u2019s only your toddler wishing to scoot himself across the floor on our Rattan Ride On<\/a><\/strong> toy.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Some of us might remember the first time we heard the word was in the 1970s when our mothers (or grandmothers!) brought home their first rattan, placing them as chairs amidst the hanging plants and record-player console in the living room or as inviting chaise longues on the backyard patio.<\/p>\n

Yet, rattan\u2019s resurgence in the 1960s and 70s came after another heyday in the late 19th<\/sup> and early 20th century when chairs, dressers, baskets, bedframes, canopies, daybeds and more became all the fashion. Already at that time, they came to signify the mark of craftsmanship, the promise of a moment of relaxation, a combination of precise and dexterous handiwork.<\/p>\n<\/div>

When your child plays with our Rattan Ride On, its combination of functionality and aesthetics brings a multitude of stories and possibilities \u2026 places to go, people to see, and things to explore. What a sense of wonder and freedom!<\/p>\n

Mum, I\u2019m off to explore the world for a bit. Please keep my dinner warm in case I\u2019m late for dinner.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6437,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,42,131],"tags":[335,4,336,309,102,280,304,168],"class_list":["post-6404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kids-interiors","category-kids-world","category-toys","tag-eco-friendly","tag-kids","tag-lightweight","tag-natural-material","tag-play","tag-rattan","tag-textures","tag-toys"],"yoast_head":"\nLET\u2019S RATTLE AND ROLL WITH RATTAN! - ooh-noo<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/lets-rattle-and-roll-with-rattan\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"LET\u2019S RATTLE AND ROLL WITH RATTAN! - ooh-noo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/lets-rattle-and-roll-with-rattan\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"ooh-noo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-01-31T06:38:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-02-18T14:04:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/rattan_1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"873\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"nina\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"nina\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/lets-rattle-and-roll-with-rattan\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/lets-rattle-and-roll-with-rattan\/\",\"name\":\"LET\u2019S RATTLE AND ROLL WITH RATTAN! - ooh-noo\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/lets-rattle-and-roll-with-rattan\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/lets-rattle-and-roll-with-rattan\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/rattan_1.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-01-31T06:38:52+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-02-18T14:04:29+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/deef07a51a32c13e1333508f54b7bea0\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/lets-rattle-and-roll-with-rattan\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/lets-rattle-and-roll-with-rattan\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/lets-rattle-and-roll-with-rattan\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/rattan_1.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/rattan_1.jpg\",\"width\":1000,\"height\":873},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/lets-rattle-and-roll-with-rattan\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"LET\u2019S RATTLE AND ROLL WITH RATTAN!\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.ooh-noo.com\/blog\/\",\"name\":\"ooh-noo\",\"description\":\"Bedding.
