Balls for Open-Ended Play
Balls for babies and toddlers: soft fabric balls, crocheted balls, wooden balls and grip balls for small hands.
The first toy that moves on its own
A ball rolls away, which is exactly what makes a baby crawl after it. That simple cause and effect is one of the earliest lessons in movement a child teaches itself. Nothing else in the toy box invites so much repetition.
Which ball for which age
Soft fabric and crocheted balls suit babies from around six months, because they are easy to grasp and safe to mouth. Balls with holes or ridges give small fingers something to hold, which extends the game considerably. Wooden balls come later, once rolling and catching have become a shared game with an adult.
