Yackle Ball Jr. starts your child off right. Staring at 2 years old when a child is first learning to big ball catch, to playing educational games that are fun and safe. The ball has many amazing benefits.
SOFTNESS – Because the ball is soft Yackle Ball Jr. is safe and it eliminates the Fear Factor in children. Children are not born with fear, they learn it. Yackle Ball Jr. allows a child to learn to catch without getting hurt and it's also a wonderful tool for tactile stimulation.
Confidence - That brings us into the SHAPE of the ball… it is shaped like an X so that the ball hugs the child back when they learn to catch. Where round balls fall through a beginner’s hug catch, Yackle Balls "arms" make it easy to catch. Those same qualities make it user-friendly for children with developmental delays or physical disabilities. Think about it, most children wrap their arms out and a traditional ball will fall through, which means the child failed to catch it and so it breaks down her or his confidence. With Yackle Ball Jr. it will hug them back and so they learn how to catch!
FUN – If a ball isn’t fun, the kids will drop it like a hot potato and move on to something else! Children want to have fun but they need an activity that is challenging enough to keep their interest yet easy enough that they don’t get frustrated! Yackle Ball Jr. has games that are educational, stimulating and energetic! The children LOVE it! The parents and Teachers LOVE it! And we are sure that you will LOVE it too!
Yackle Ball Jr. is recommended for children from 2 years old to 6 years old and those with special needs. It is a great choice for the senior who wants to play with the grandchildren.

Great for Little Ones

I definitely like this product for my 20 month old. He still has some problems catching, but it gives him a better chance having more to grab onto. He's not as interested in it as other balls but I'm hoping as he gets older he will be. I love the fact that it's made in the USA.
Regular size likely best

I work with young children (3 yrs) and liked the idea of "the easiest ball to catch" but I think the regular size would actually be better for young hands.

I received the Yackle Ball Jr. and I love the way it feels and handles.
I purchased the ball for my grandson for Christmas, so I really can't rate it at this time. Check back at the beginning of next year and I'll let you know what he thought of it.

This toy is high quality and a good learning tool for teaching how to catch. My two year old can't catch it yet because of it's stiffness, but loves to throw it, and my four year old loves to join in the fun. The yackle has improved my four year olds confidence in catching and throwing. Overall, I am glad I purchased this product.
