Crossword Genius

Young person playing with rattles (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

starlet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'young person' is the definition.
'starlet' can be an answer for 'person' (starlet is a kind of person). I am unsure of the 'young' bit.

'playing with rattles' is the wordplay.
'rattles' anagrams to 'STARLET'.
Though, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for starlet that I've seen before include "Young film actress with a future?" , "young celebrity" , "Promising young film actress" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
