Very suitable for sensorimotor development!
What nice balls these are, Some advantages in a row:
~ Each ball has a different structure on one half than on the other. In total, the three balls contain six different structures. Nice to feel, but also very suitable for smaller children to discover with their mouth.
~ When the balls roll, they make a soothing sound. One higher pitched than the other.
~ Because the balls make noise, children are also challenged to make music with them. To do this, they have to hold the ball firmly and shake it. This also practices hand motor skills.
~ The balls challenge the child to roll with them. Because they are a bit heavier, they do not roll very fast. They are therefore wonderful balls for the somewhat younger children to crawl or crawl after.
Summary
These balls are therefore very suitable for playfully stimulating gross motor skills, eye-hand coordination, hand motor skills, auditory and tactile development.
Another advantage is that the balls are also easy to clean.
