Play Tip!
All ball use tips apply to all sizes of balls. Having trouble developing good head, neck, and back control? Try lying your child face down on the ball, holding their hips, and encouraging them to lift their face while the ball is rolled forward. This size is usually best for children the size of a typical child of 0 - 2 years.

PLAY Tip
Interpreting Facial Emotions
Many children (especially those with autism-like conditions) have difficulty interpreting facial expressions and understanding why people feel certain emotions. Moody Bear Puzzle, Emotion Cards, Smart Alex software all offers an opportunity to recognize expressions and hopefully talk about why the person might be happy or frightened. Try using them with a mirror and perhaps Polaroids of familiar people showing the same emotions. Eventually see if your child can make (and understand) the expressions, then take their pictures!
