Our sensory Clutch Ball toy is designed to delight your baby's developing senses. Signature high-contrast hand painted graphics grab baby's attention visually, while varied textures provide tactile stimulation. Its beautiful organic shell fabrics and Woodland animal pattern make it the perfect keepsake gift. Also called an "Amish puzzle ball", it was popularized by Montessori educators. Sensory Clutch Balls can be used in many ways. With babies from 3 months of age - attach a strap and hang above your baby's gym for visual stimulation and to promote kicking. At about 5 months your baby will begin to move the ball with her hands and begin to try and clutch it. The segments make it easier for a baby to clutch than a regular ball. And when it drops, it won't roll far. It's the perfect first ball for babies, and is a popular first toy.
