Sassy Developmental Bumpy Ball For Kids

Product Description:

The bright colors, bold patterns and easy-to-grasp bumps make the Sassy Bumpy Ball a must-have. The high contrast colors of the ball allow baby to focus, strengthening vision. The gentle rattle sounds from the trapped beads create neural connections in baby’s brains from birth through 3 years of age. Chunky sized bumps on the ball encourage reaching, grasping, and transferring from one hand to another, developing baby’s motor skill. The differing materials engage baby’s developing tactile sensitivity and teach baby about variety.

Development of Fine Motor Skills:

Sassy Developmental Bumpy Ball promotes the development of fine motor skills and involves planning and motor speed, visual tracking, reaching, object manipulation and grasping. From about 6 months, babies will begin to demonstrate these fine motor skills. The Sassy Bumpy Ball has been designed to help baby with all of the developmental skills. The Sassy Bumpy Ball also promotes development of gross motor skills including movement of the limbs and torso. Physical coordination such as sitting on own, whole body movement including locomotion and coordination, balance and motor planning are all involved in development of gross motor skills.2010 Oppenheim Toy Platinum Award.

Developmental Insight:

Offering a variety of textures to your baby at a young age results in greater tactile sensitivity as baby matures. Tactile sensitivity aids in general cognitive development.

Sensory Development Milestone:

(Birth - 6 Months)

From birth to 6 months, the focus is on developing baby’s senses through exploration and discoveries. In these first 6 months, through movements and responses, baby is beginning to coordinate and build perceptual capacities. During this period, baby’s vision is poor, initially only able to see 8-12 inches from his face. Babies can see colors, but their ability to differentiate among them is still developing; red seems to capture baby’s attention the best, and so may be the first color sense. Gaining the capacity of the eyes to work together, and tracking objects with her eyes are milestones baby will reach during this period. Instinctively, babies look for faces among their available stimuli and develop a 'social smile'. Babies also discover their hands and feet, begin to discriminate among different textures, and start reaching for objects and intentionally grasping them.
