Play Tip!
All ball use tips apply to all sizes of balls. To encourage reaching across the midline try sitting your child on the ball facing 45 degrees away from a refrigerator, and asking them to reach with their far hand to take magnetic blocks off of a refrigerator door. This size is usually best for children the size of a typical child of 2 - 4 years.

Cause and effect is an important concept. It let's kids understand that they have the power to affect their world. This is an ideal toy with which to learn cause and effect. Accessible even to a baby or to a child with very solid fine motor delay. The strong sight and sound effect means a blind OR deaf child can also enjoy this toy. Encourage children to try pushing with both hands and any other parts of the body that they are developing control over. The top can be glued to a board if necessary to keep it on a tray.
