Cognitive Development
Learning Skills
Baby rolls the ball – first with very little control, and eventually with greater control – developing and refining their strategies for motor planning. Baby starts to learn cause and effect with the motion-activated sound and lights.
Knowledge Acquisition
In rolling the ball back and forth, baby starts to develop spatial awareness and a fundamental understanding of the concept of distance. Narrate the ball’s movement by saying “near” and “far,” “fast” and “slow.”
Curiosity
As baby pushes the ball and sees that their own movement controls the rolling, they begin to wonder about the other, different ways that they can control the object, which ignites their curiosity.
Physical Development
Gross Motor Skills
Playing with the ball during tummy time encourages head lifting, and neck and shoulder development. Playing with it from a sitting position builds core stability. Crawling after the ball strengthens gross motor and crawling skills. And the opportunity to kick it, encourages walking.
Senses
The ball’s twinkling lights, friendly faces, and musical sounds encourage visual and auditory development. The different textures and the crinkly ears of the animals promote tactile stimulation.
Social & Emotional Development
Cooperation & Sharing
Playing ball with you, a sibling, or playdate, allows baby to begin to learn how to cooperate, take turns, share an object, and connect with others. Narrate this by saying, “Now it’s baby’s turn. Now it’s Mommy’s turn.”
Communication
Children naturally seek out faces, so the sweet, big-eyed faces of the animals on the ball nurture this instinct for communication, engagement, and eventually empathy.
Confidence
Ball-playing helps to soften separation anxiety and build confidence because as baby rolls the ball away and then sees that it rolls back, they begin to understand that parting with an object does not mean that it is gone forever.
