My four month old loves it!
 
Review Date: June 7, 2009
Reviewer: Jennifer, Troy, MI
A mom in my group had a similar one of these for her baby who just loved it. So when we were walking through the baby aisles at Target, we saw this one and just put it in the stroller with our baby to see if he would like it--and he played with it the entire time! So, of course, we bought it!

He has many other rattle-type toys meant for grabbing, but this is the first one he has actually grabbed on to and played with. It is very sturdy and actually a little heavier than I anticipated by just looking at it--I was worried it might be too heavy for him to pick up (since we had never really seen him pick up anything before) but he manages with no problems!
Lots of Different Ways to Throw a Bendy Ball

Reviewer: Citizen John, USA
My twin 9-month olds, like all babies of that age, love to show when they're displeased by throwing something. When they try that with the Bendy Ball, most of the time they forget why they got upset.

This cute thing can be bent while holding and you can put your fingers inside it. Plus the ball inside that you can't quite get out has a little ball inside it that sounds like a bell almost. If you want to throw it to show your displeasure at something, you'll end up putting your fingers into it first. Those distractions are priceless.

By the time baby finally rolls this ball, it is with a positive frame of mind, and she wants it back to try again.
I can see that this durable little toy is going to be used in many ways and constantly. It's a lot of fun to roll their way and see how they try to figure out what to do with it.

Beyond that, the colors are great. The 5 outer caterpillar parts on diameter are cute. I think this is an educational toy that teaches about hand manipulation.
so simple yet entrancing

Reviewer: Akaijen,
It could be that my daughter has a thing for balls b/c she also likes the plastic Gymboree balls. I bought this around 4 months. It was easy for her to pick up and mouth. At 7 months she likes to throw it and shake it.

I will say that it's not very bendy. I'd describe it as "having some give." My daughter can't bend it herself, and it takes some effort on my part. It also don't roll around like a ball, owing to the caterpillar running along the outside of the ball. I find this useful b/c it doesn't roll out of my daughter's reach, but don't get it if you're expecting to play ball with it.
Entertaining ball

This ball is just right for little ones, they can grasp easily, colorful, and engages with the ball inside. Very entertaining.

I got this for my son when he was about 4 months old, and he immediately loved it. He could grab it anywhere as the ball is an open lattice and shake it like a rattle. Later, he would throw it to hear it jingle. Very inexpensive and you can clip it onto a stroller or carseat with links. Inexpensive entertainment.
Bright Colored Ball

Reviewer: Marilyn Smisek,
My grandson, age l3 months, loved the ball as soon as he saw it.
It has bright colors and is easy to grab. The sound made when it is rolling is playful and he quickly walks or crawls after it. I was very glad that I bought it. I thought the ball was small when I first saw it but it turned out to be perfect for him to easily pick up or throw. It's a fun toy!
Great for babies even in the supported sitter stage.

I bought this toy unsure if it would roll well enough. It rolls just fine and the holes are a bonus making it extremely easy for baby to grab hold of it. All they have to do is reach a hand out and most likely they will knock it about or grab hold. The jingle ball inside of it is an added stimulation bonus. I definitely recommend this product.
My 3 month old can actually hold this!

Reviewer: Stephanie Macdonald, Chicagoland, IL USA
We bought this toy for my three month old son because I figured it was something he could actually hold and enjoy. We have so many toys and it's unfortunate because his tiny hands still have a hard time grasping onto many things. That's not the case with this one. This toy is easy for him to grasp through the many holes and shake. The little ball inside that rattles is not obnoxious sounding either. As for the bendy feature, I think my son will have to get a bit older before he can actually bend the blue and red parts of the ball, as it is pretty stiff.

Overall a perfect toy for a baby!
