This sensory Clutch Ball toy is designed to delight a child's baby's developing senses. Signature high-contrast hand painted graphics grab baby's attention visually, while varied textures provide tactile stimulation. Its beautiful organic shell fabrics and acorn pattern make it the ideal keepsake gift. Also called an "Amish puzzle ball", it was popularized by Montessori educators. This balls do not come apart, so are not actually a puzzle, but a child's baby will examine it as if it were a puzzle. Sensory Clutch Balls are used in many ways with babies from 3 months of age - attach a strap and hang above a child's baby's gym for visual stimulation and to promote kicking. At about 5 months a child's baby will begin to move the ball with her hands and begin to try and clutch it. The segments make it easier for a baby to clutch than a regular ball. And when it drops, it won't roll far. It's the ideal first ball for babies, and is a popular favorite baby toy. Gift Message available in Cart.
