One of the most common and useful toy that assists in the child’s [easyazon_link identifier=”1841695319″ locale=”US” tag=”kidstoysnews_context-20″]cognitive development[/easyazon_link] is the ball. Little Tikes Grip ‘N’ Roll balls are for babies 6 months and up and are designed to stimulate your infants [easyazon_link identifier=”B008PDTJCE” locale=”US” tag=”kidstoysnews_context-20″]sensory development[/easyazon_link]. Playing with balls, such as the Grip ‘N’ Roll Balls, are an important way to foster an infants intellectual growth. For example, infants will follow the path of a ball as it rolls across the floor, and this is called ‘visual tracking’. What is happening in visual tracking, is that you baby’s eyes and body movements are coordinating with one another.
When your baby begins to mature and starts to crawl, he/she can begin to crawl after the ball as it rolls across the floor. When this is occurring, they are working on their spatial awareness skills. [easyazon_link identifier=”B002NGOH1W” locale=”US” tag=”kidstoysnews_context-20″]Spatial awareness[/easyazon_link] is one of the basic building blocks of logical thought. As the infant matures, so does their play with the ball, with games involving tossing and catching, following rules and verbal directions. Grip ‘N’ Roll Balls are a source of important sensory stimulation via providing tactile stimulation through handling, visual tracking, while encouraging social skills, verbal and non verbal communication.
Little Tikes Grip ‘N’ Roll Balls come in a package of three. One ball is large and the other two balls are small. The Grip ‘N’ Roll Balls are sturdy, made of washable, non toxic and color fast translucent plastic, which makes them the perfect choice for parents looking for a toy that can be safe enough to play inside the house during tossing games, as well as in the backyard, or in the pool or under the sprinkler on a hot summers day.
Grip ‘N’ Roll Balls are durable and built for long lasting play. The surface area of each ball is covered in rows of soft, pronged projections that make these little colorful, inflatable balls easy for the small ones to handle, play and toss. You baby will find the pronged nubs that span the balls interesting and fun to explore, as they poke them, grab them and even begin to chew on them. So these Grip ‘N’ Roll Balls might also prove to have some benefit during the infants teething stages.
Grip ‘N’ Roll Balls are colorful and designed to stimulate the senses of your child. Developmentally speaking, these balls assist your child in eye-hand coordination, fine and gross motor skills, as well as [easyazon_link identifier=”B009585IJ6″ locale=”US” tag=”kidstoysnews_context-20″]visual tracking[/easyazon_link] abilities and socialization through tossing games. If the Grip ‘N’ Roll Balls happen to deflate for any reason, infants can still play with them, grabbing and tossing, without concern that the balls will roll away from them.
Grip ‘N’ Roll Balls by Little Tike are an excellent addition to any nursery. These balls are reasonably priced, and easy to maintain as they just require a bit of soap and water. There is a downside in that there does not seem to be a method provided that will inflate the balls if the air runs out. All in all, Grip ‘N’ Roll Balls are a good value, and will provide a source of important cognitive growth for your infant and young child.
