Featured Replies

Hi anyone knows whats that about? metal coils with little bells around babies legs?.

What is it means, what is it for?

thx

Going to hazard a guess and suggest the bells make a noise to scare thw ghosts away

I bought loads of them for my friends in Europe. And the wooden cribbet frogs...

Mothers can hear the kids running around. A bit like sqeeky shoes.

None have died.

But some parents wanted to kill me, over the frogs. Kids just love them.

so they dont lose themlaugh.png

Probably when the babies wet their nappies its easier to ring them out.

its so they notice the noise difference when they fall off the back of the motorbike.

I think its more to do with thier black magic things

Do you actually know what black magic is ?

Not exactly

But i know they do some thai vodoo

I imagine it's mostly something to do with some sort of superstition. I will say, though, that once our son started walking they became incredibly handy to keep track of him. As soon as they went quiet you would know he was up to no good laugh.png

It's to protect the infant from the bad spirits on the house and practicality it's also serves as a noise maker so you know if they have crawled off too far
