User reviews
“It is odd to rate the ‘educational’ value of this toy. It won't make
your kid do calculus. But our baby started playing with this toy when he was
about 12 weeks old. He was born 6 weeks premature, but because of his interest
in this toy he developed two-handed play (an early developmental milestone) well
ahead of time. I could see that perhaps an older child might not find this
engaging enough, but our son still enjoys playing with it and chewing on it now
as a 7 month old. PROS: The slim flexible bands make this much easier for early
grasping than many things sold as rattles, which are too fat for young, small,
clumsy hands to grasp, The rattle sound is not so loud as to be deafening or
obnoxious,
It can be refrigerated for teething. Again, the slim rings fit into his small
mouth so much better than many of the large bulky teethers. He has a teether
that he cant yet grasp and manipulate for himself because it is so bulky. Plus,
the many loops mean that there are different things to chew on no matter which
way he turns it, there isn't just one "right” way to hold it. The loops also
make it convenient to take with you. We hook one strap of our stroller brace
through a loop and he can merrily play with it while we walk without fear that
it will fall onto the ground. We receive lots of funny comments about how it
looks like he is “driving” his stroller by grasping the ball like a steering
wheel. Fun, engaging and helpful for developing two-handed play. Probably most
appropriate as a toy for babies 3–5 months and as a teether for older
children. ." By Erin Mcdonnell
“We got this toy as a gift from our friends and our baby loves it. He is 3 months old and finds this toy really easy to grab. The rings are squishy and thin so there are many places to grab hold. He can put his entire hand through it and use his arm to get it to his mouth. It's also large enough for him to grab it with both hands easily. He'll also shake it. It's definitely his favorite toy and it keeps his attention.” By H-Dog
