The plastic balls and animal figures come in a variety of colors, such as purple, orange, red, blue, green and yellow. A white plastic hook on each end permits the toy to be attached to a stroller, carriage, swing, or infant seat. The toy makes a rattle sound when shaken. Some of the plastic animals are inconspicuously imprinted with the word "China."
