Frozen Fruit Teether, a baby activity for 5–9 months

How to play

1
Place a piece of frozen banana, mango, or strawberry in a mesh feeder or silicone nibbler.
2
Hand it to baby and let them gnaw, suck, and squeeze it.
3
The cold soothes sore gums while the taste introduces new flavors!
4
Describe what they're tasting: "Mmm, that's cold banana! Is it yummy?"

What you need

• Frozen fruit (banana, mango, berries)
• A mesh feeder or silicone nibbler

Simple household items. No plastic toys needed.

Why it works

Cold fruit soothes teething pain naturally while introducing flavors and textures. Holding the feeder and bringing it to their mouth builds hand-to-mouth coordination.

Good to know

Only use frozen fruit in a mesh or silicone feeder designed for babies, never give a baby a loose piece of frozen fruit.
