This ball is very well made, tennis ball sized. A bungee cord holds it together giving it the ability to bend from side to side producing a nice wooden clak. My 7 month old has had this for a few months and she definitely likes it. I admit I thought it was a bit of an odd shape for a baby to pick up but my daughter doesn't seem to care and has no problems with it and even seems to enjoy the unusual build of it. She still sucks on the ball although you would think that would be hard too. It looks fascinating when it's spun like a top. I imagine she will continue to like this ball as she grows and can start to really participate in rolling it about. As for us adults in the house, we find ourselves absently-mindly holding it and softly clacking it from one side to another- ahhh... baby toy therapy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Toy from Haba, August 20, 2008

I bought this for my niece when she was about a year old. She's starting to learn some simple words, and she can identify the colors on the toy, and that it is a ball, and so on, so there is an education aspect to it. Of course, she doesn't know that, so she just thinks it's fun. When she shakes the toy, the wooden plates make a clacking sound that she likes and it's not too annoying for the parents. As a side note, how many electronic toys can make that claim? I also bought several other Haba toys at the same time as this one and they are all equally well made, and still played with. An excellent buy.

This is just a few wooden discs tied via a rubber band. I was very skeptical at first. It actually works. My daughter is glued to it. When you play catch; it does make clicking sound. She likes to grab it and play with it for long times. I hope it is made of good quality paint.. as she chews a lot too. Count less hours of fun and price less smiles.
