Four highly sensible reasons for choosing Sensory Balls for your child:
Sensory Balls enhance sensory stimulation:
When children hold a sensory ball, they appreciate the nubbly texture. When they squeeze one, they can feel the rubber stretch and contract beneath their fingertips. Sensory balls are effective in massage stimulation. Softly rolling textured sensory balls on a child’s back or feet heightens sensory awareness. Sensory balls are favored by teething babies who love to chew on safe, sensory balls.
Sensory Balls enhance gross motor skills:
From their first months to years later children improve both fine and gross motor skills with sensory balls. Infants crawl toward sensory balls enhancing eye/hand coordination, use muscles to reach a sensory ball, then grasp and hold on tight! As children grow, they enthusiastically squeeze, roll, throw and kick sensory balls.
Sensory Balls enhance socialization:
Young children interact with others as they roll a sensory ball across the floor to mom and dad, grandpa or grandma. Young children eagerly toss sensory balls to playmates.
Sensory Balls enhance visual and perceptual skills:
Four vivid colors capture child interest. Unique projections peak visual curiosity.

Good Toy

These sensory balls are good for baby to touch, feel, and roll around. My son doesn't play with them all the time, but he does like to play with them, hit them, and roll them around at least once a day. I've used them also the roll on his back and he seems to like that. But since he's almost 8 months old he doesn't let me do that for long ... then he's off crawling to his next adventure. I would recommend this to anyone with a baby but if I knew about these before hand I would have gotten them earlier ... 3 months old or maybe even 2 months old. I know we'll have them from day one with our second :)
Great tactile toy!

My son, who is 8 months old, has these at his daycare and plays with them all the time. We got them for him because he has so much fun rolling them and chewing on the nubs of the balls. They are the perfect size for little hands. He has no problems manipulating them and enjoys all the colors. Great gift idea for babies!!!

My son loves these balls and he doesn't normally like textures. They bounce and are fun to throw and grab. He likes them more than regular balls that do not have texture. They are slightly different sizes all of them bigger than a soft ball.

I gave the ball to 4 different infants, ranging in age from 1 month to 2 1/2 years. 3 were boys and 1 was a girl (the one month old). Obviously, the parents of the one month old were thrilled and couldn't wait for her to start using it. She is too young right now and I knew that when I purchased the ball as a Christmas gift. The 3 boys were all over 6 months so they loved it. It is small enough that they can hold the ball on their own. The colors are vibrant, which attracts their attention and one is behind in fine motor development, so it will hopefully stimulate his sensory motor development. All 3 boys liked to feel the bumps on the ball and would rub the ball on their hands, arms, legs, and body.
