Why Choose Our Sensory Ball?
Infants and Toddlers
At this age, ball play helps children develop grasping skills, eye-hand coordination, tracking, finger muscles, and the ability to move objects from one hand to another. Cognitively, infants and toddlers learn about the properties of balls: They bounce, roll down hills, are easy to move and difficult to keep still. As youngsters play with balls, they begin to get the feel of repetitive rhythms - bouncing, grasping, and squeezing. Just remember that balls for infants and toddlers must be large enough to pass a choke-tube test.
Preschoolers
Ball play at this age can help children master individual gross-motor skills, such as kicking, throwing, catching, aiming, rolling, bouncing, and tracking. Social skills, too, come into play as children participate in simple games - rolling, throwing, and kicking balls to one another. Though preschool children are often beginning to learn the games of their cultures, this is not a time for activities that require many rules or emphasize winning and losing.
