It's infuriating and misleading that these balls are marketed as "phthalate-free." That may be true, but it does NOT mean they are safe! They are made of PVC, a super toxic plastic that off-gases dangerous fumes and releases potentially carcinogenic chemicals! I don't know about you, but I do not want my baby chewing on that!

Info about PVC:

I had my suspicions about this product's safety when I noticed that the balls have that beach ball "smell." I checked, [...]-- and, sure enough, discovered the PVC.

It's such a shame that a mother must do detective work in order to confirm the safety of her child's toys!

I bought for my almost 3yr old boy who has SPD(sensory processing disorder) and he loves them, as does my 6 yr old son and myself. They are perfect for gripping, rolling, throwing, massaging and they are not sharp or harmful. I only gave 4 stars because it would have been better if they were all different sizes.

I got these for DS's 1st birthday. They are soft but spiky. They bounce and withstand chewing. Since the focus is on Sensory Integration these days I figured these balls would be great for all in the household.

They massage feet, too. :D

My 1 year old loves it when we take off his shirt and roll these down his back and sides. They are small enough for him to pick up with both hands and he loves the feel. The balls seem to be well made and have a valve like a basket ball to fill them with more air if desired. Recommend to anyone.

Got these for my daughter's first birthday. They are easy to pick up and hold, and interesting because of the bright colors and bumps. I think they are a good choice. I think another reviewer said something about the bumps being "sharp", but I don't think so. Perfectly fine for 6 months & up, I'd say.

We'd had these balls for my son for a very long time, over a year (he's now 20 months), and they are wonderful in so many ways. First, the color selection is perfect. Red, blue, green, and yellow are going to be the first colors most children learn. Here you have an easy teaching tool to use with your child starting at a very young age. Second, the texture is distinctly different yet not unpleasant or unsafe because the spikes are soft (as is each entire ball). Third, because of the soft texture, once your child starts throwing these balls, you don't have to worry about any damage to your home or to your child. Of course, once a child can really get some lift on his throws, there could be trouble! Lastly, unlike most of my son's other toys, these balls have been steadily used since they were purchased, and I expect their appeal to continue to be strong for some time to come.

Every day now, my son is picking up these balls and throwing them back and forth with us. He always smiles and laughs when he does so, and that's a beautiful thing to see. I highly recommend these for anyone with a baby. You'll get a ton of use out of them.

My 7-month old son likes these. The texture makes them easy to grab and hold on to. He may just start crawling because of these balls...when he tosses them away from him, he starts to lean towards them like he's going to go after them.

I originally thought these were way too much like the toys we buy for our dog at about $2.99 each but my son LOVES them. He is 9 months old and can hold them easily and loves to throw them with one hand. Although it means a lot of picking them up, the amount of joy it brings him makes it totally worth it. These are the first toys he goes to.

This product was a win for my infant. It was a gift for his first birthday. The nubbies or spikes on the side are stimulating and he enjoys rolling these lightweight balls on the floor or playing catch. The balls are light enough to avoid damage if they're misthrown in the house. Perfect, right? I think they'll hold up well. They've be chewed on (by the baby), thrown by the older brother and stepped on by Dad. Survived all.

We have twins and they just love these ever since they were able to pick them up for the first time,.
they are 16 months old now and like to play with these in the bath tub, and the best part is they don't fill up with water!
