Baby balls offer several benefits that can contribute to the physical and sensory development of toddlers. Here are the skills that babies develop while playing with a ball:

Motor Skills Development

Small balls can encourage babies to move and explore their environment. By manipulating the ball, trying to catch it or push it, babies develop their gross and fine motor skills.

Sensory Stimulation

Balls provide an interesting sensory experience. Babies can feel the texture of the ball, hear the sound it makes when touched, and even see it move. These sensory experiences help develop the senses.

Muscle strengthening

By manipulating and playing with the ball, babies engage their muscles, promoting muscle strengthening. This can be particularly beneficial for the muscles of the core, arms and legs.

Hand-Eye Coordination

Playing with a small ball often requires hand-eye coordination. Babies learn to follow the movement of the ball with their eyes and coordinate their movements to interact with it.

Encouragement of Physical Activity

Small balls can be used to stimulate physical activity in babies, encouraging them to move, crawl, or walk to reach or play with the ball.

Social Interaction

Balloons can become interactive play objects between parents and baby. When an adult gently rolls the balloon towards the baby, it creates a playful and funny interaction.

Relaxation and laughter

Babies often find great pleasure in playing with balloons. Simply watching a balloon float or bounce can be fascinating and entertaining, contributing to a positive experience.

Learning Cause and Effect

Babies can experiment with cause and effect by kicking a ball and observing its reaction. Understanding that their actions can have consequences is an important step in cognitive development.

Useful over time

Small balls are versatile and can be adapted to the different stages of development of toddlers. At home, outside or in the bath, it is a small essential that will last a long time and will accompany children in all their adventures.

Be careful though, as with all toddler games, it is important to supervise babies while they are playing with balls to ensure their safety.

We advise you to choose a ball adapted to their age and avoid those that present a risk of choking. For a baby, we recommend these 10 cm balls made in France, a guarantee of safety and quality . Other sizes are recommended from 3 years old.
