The beloved car keysโ€“Babies just canโ€™t get enough of them. And no matter how realistic those toy keys look, babies know the difference. And even though desperate times can call for desperate measures, itโ€™s certainly not ideal. Thatโ€™s why Kleynimals are so brilliant.

Inspired by the same dilemma, a smart mom invented the very smart Kleynimals:
toy car keys that look like cute little animals, but made from non-toxic,
food grade stainless steel. Kleynimals sound like keys when you shake
them and they probably taste like keys, you know, minus all the grime, sharp edges,
and possible lead.

Because theyโ€™re stainless steel, these keys (or is it kleys?) are definitely much heavier than plastic toy keys, so watch your own headโ€“and your wee oneโ€™sโ€“when theyโ€™re swinging them around. And they do have a bit of a metal smell, which isnโ€™t bad, just noticeable.

Theyโ€™re a fantastic alternative to the icky plastic toy keys and the expensive silver keepsake rattles that you donโ€™t really want to let them take out of the house. Iโ€™m already imagining my babyโ€™s delight when that
moment of key sucking can go on for more than just a minute. Without the โ€œew.โ€ โ€“Elizabeth

  1. I got a set of these and LOVE THEM! They are sturdy, with exactly the same feel and weight of keys, but they are so cute and are as safe as silverware. We never leave the house without themโ€ฆ

  2. What a great idea! Putting it on my โ€œto buyโ€ list!

  3. what a great idea, my kid is key-obsessed!

  4. Whoever came up with this is a GENIUS! I love it! Just wish Iโ€™d thought of it first! LOL!

  5. Cute! but pricey, esp if baby loses everything down some hole or crack (like mine). We bought a bunch of key blanks from the hardware store, washed them well and put them on a keyring for baby. She loved them, esp b/c they looked just like my set.

  6. Hilary, I promise weโ€™re not the judgy types but the majority of keys contain lead, especially the brass ones. You might reconsider giving them real keys to suck on, no matter how clean. If itโ€™s price thatโ€™s the issue, consider ones made of a safe silicon or other food-grade metal.

  7. Brilliant! I may have to get some of these for all of the little babies that I need to buy gifts for this year.
