Oball Rattle

Rhino Toys Oball Rattle



This is a must have for all moms and in my opinion is a FABULOUS FIND! Babies are fascinated by its bright colors and fun rattling beads as they explore its springy surfaces.  Hannah has this ball in pink, of course, and she loves it.  My mother-in-law gave this ball to Hannah when she was about 2 months old.  It was one of her first and favorite toys.  It became a favorite because it was one of the first things she was able to grasp.  Even when her fine motor control was limited and her upper extremity movement was uncoordinated, she was able to hang onto this and flail the ball around.  At first she was not always able to keep hold of the ball so we would attach this to her with her pacifier holder from Southern Sweet Dimples (mentioned in a previous post).    As she became more coordinated she was able to bring the ball to her mouth with both hands.  As she continued to grow she was able to transfer the ball from one hand to another and now that she is crawling she chases after it.  

The rattle is available at http://www.amazon.com for $8.23.  It is also available at http://www.toysrus.com for $7.99
