    You wouldn’t believe how surprised I was that you could just buy them as a regular person. Somehow it felt like only doctors are allowed to have these. You can’t have that at home.

    Well, we do now, but it feels wrong.

      A few colourful bent wires and beads? I remember seeing them in a few other places too, I assume it’s the cheapest thing they can get that is reasonably hard to break and steall.

        It’s definitely about the fact it’s a nice self-contained structure. The beads are locked in and can’t get lost.

        This could have been a complete lie, but I was told they have those types of toys because they are easy to sanitize.

          I assumed it was because it helps develop fine motor skills. Also bright colors and contrasts are a visual stimulant.
