## Abstract

A development toy that is made of soft, light BPA-free silicone and/or clear plastic that is one solid piece with no moving parts or attachments. The toy is intended to sooth an infant and/or toddler when frustrated from teething pains in their gum and oral area. The toy will be made in various different animal, bird, fish and machine shapes with appendages in the shape of a human female “mother's” nipple to provide the familiar sensation of sucking on mother's breast. The toy will be made in non-toxic soft materials, clear plastic and/or silicone resembling candy in bright soft pastels in a cartoon formed body with easily gripping areas. All parts of the toy provide a safe form of soothing and controlled breathing areas.
