1. A baby rattle (1) comprising two rattle portions (2,3) and an elongated elastic spacer element (4) which connects the two rattle portions (2,3), CHARACTERIZED IN that the two rattle portions (2,3) have mutually complementary coupling elements (5,6) which allow the two rattle portions (2,3) to be coupled to each other, and wherein the weight of the two rattle portions (2,3) and the rigidity of the elastic spacer element (4) are adjusted relative to each other so that the elastic spacer element (4), like a column, is in itself capable of supporting the one rattle portion (2,3) when the elastic spacer element (4) is maintained substantially vertically upright relative to the second rattle portion (3,2), and wherein the mutually complementary coupling elements (5,6) establish an interference fit with sufficient resistance to keep the two rattle portions (2,3) together despite the force applied by the elongated elastic spacer element (4) to the two rattle portions (2,3) when the rattle portions (2,3) are coupled to each other.
