I bought a few Kushies linking rings when my son was a few months old and we were still living in London. Now these colourful, irregularly shaped, soft rubber rings are everything my newborn daughter wants to chew on. They are so handy and cute; I really wish I could buy a few more… or even better the Zolo Linko: a whole set of teethers and toys that link together. Like so many of the Kushies-Zolo toys (including the Beanstax Esther has written about), they are just so cool. They are unfortunately not that easy to find here in Europe (impossible in Italy), but do check their international retailers — you may be so lucky to have one around the corner!
