5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Toy! January 9, 2006

By Andy and Ben's mommy

This toy is awesome, especially for babies that you are trying to get to crawl. My two boys absolutely LOVE this toy. Also, when they start to lose interest, this toy starts to move and make noise again to get their attention. They are too young still to do the games on the ball (it tells the baby to find an animal or number), but they love to push the buttons anyway. It rolls well on our carpet on hard flooring. It's one of their favorites!

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps Baby Focused While On Tummy December 30, 2005

By Elador

For my 6 month old baby boy, this ball has been an excellent wayto keep him focused on moving toward on object while on his stomach. Although he gets annoyed by it rolling away from him at times, he also tries to reach for it because he realizes that when he touches it, a sound or noise results from it so that there is a "cause and effect" situation. I think it has helped to encourage him to crawl because it's weighted to move around but not to roll away. Granted, it might bump into him but this baby is very sturdy, so much so, that he'd prefer to stand rather than crawl. He never lost the standing reflex so it's possible he might bypass crawling altogether although I think this ball helps him with the crawling and moving. He also enjoys playing with it while sitting up. I think this is a good toy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't roll much October 30, 2005

By mom of girls

I was really hoping for a toy for my daughter to chase when she started crawling... but it really just rolls in a circle. It doesn't give you much time to find what it asks you to find either... and when it says "where's the pig?", until you know which is which animal... they don't look like much except a blob!
