You wouldn’t believe how surprised I was that you could just buy them as a regular person. Somehow it felt like only doctors are allowed to have these. You can’t have that at home.
A few colourful bent wires and beads? I remember seeing them in a few other places too, I assume it’s the cheapest thing they can get that is reasonably hard to break and steall.

Well, we do now, but it feels wrong.

It’s definitely about the fact it’s a nice self-contained structure. The beads are locked in and can’t get lost.
This could have been a complete lie, but I was told they have those types of toys because they are easy to sanitize.
No way, lots of corners, germs cluster in the holes on the beads that then get spread the whole length of the wire, etc.
It might be marketed as easy to sanitize because it’s all non-porous but in reality it’s a germ trap.
I assumed it was because it helps develop fine motor skills. Also bright colors and contrasts are a visual stimulant.
