Rainbow Sensory Clutching Ball with Bell

The ball is made of padded segments in rainbow colours, with a gap between each one. Small fingers slide into these gaps, so a child who cannot yet catch a smooth ball can still pick this one up, carry it and pass it from one hand to the other. Every shake or roll sets off the bell, and your child soon realises that the sound comes from their own movement.

Baby sensory balls for rolling and chasing

Rolled across the floor, the segments slow the ball down, so it stops a short way off instead of disappearing under the sofa. For a child who is crawling or taking first steps, that is just far enough to want to go and fetch it. Sit opposite your child and roll it back and forth: the bell tells them it is on its way before it arrives.

Which ball to choose for your child

Our other fabric balls work on the same idea of easy gripping, in different colours and with or without a sound. Pick this one if your child reaches first for bright colours and anything that rings. Keep it in a low basket next to a few wooden Montessori toys, so your child can choose it freely. Letting a child pick an object and explore it without being shown what to do is one of the first principles of the Montessori method.
