I bought this balls for my son. He is 8 months old and loves playing with them. These four balls are well made: very attractive for the colors, hold them is easy because they are under-inflated, my baby loves put in his mouths for chowing them and crawl they after when rolled away. I guess we will use for a while finding new ways to play...

babies and toddlers live these. it's easy for them to hold them with their little hands. Lightweight and somewhat soft. Kids also like the bright colors. It a nice toy to leave in a play area for the kids.

These balls have been great for our baby girl to use. They're really easy for her to grab and were easy for her to grab one handed even when she was still learning how to pick things up. Now she's on to throwing things and these are easy for her to throw. They have a good bounce to them but they're a nice soft rubber so they don't hurt. The only thing is that they have deflated a bit. We haven't tried to re-inflate them but my understanding is that we can add air to them - they have a spot that looks like a needle will fit for inflating. I've seen some of the larger ones and those are nice as well - having the nubby texture is what makes them great balls & easy to grab one handed even with their tiny little baby hands. I recommend these and I expect they will continue to be a good toy as baby girl gets older.

I bought this set of balls when my twins were about 8 months old. They are now 18 months old still playing with them. I love a great toy where the fun evolves as kids get older. When my babies were younger they just liked to hold them and put them in their mouths. As they started crawling they liked to crawl after them as they rolled away. As they started walking they liked to walk around carrying them. And now as they are getting even older they are learning to throw them and make baskets with them using their toy basketball hoop. So many toys in our house are only used for such a short time period based on development but these balls are an exception that that rule. These balls keep getting used so they were money well spent!

We bought these for our nine month old and she really seems to like these. The nubs make it easy for her to pick them up with one hand. They are also nice and soft so they'll bounce. I think she'll have quite a bit of fun with these even as she gets older. _____________________ Update as of 23 June 2019: So I just wanted to add that my daughter still loves playing with these colorful balls. The texture makes them easy to catch and throw, and the size isn't overwhelming for her 3-1/2 year old hands. Periodically, they've lost some air, but the standard sports ball type valve they have means it's easy to fill them up with a typical needle. They'll last years longer, I suspect.

These are great. I gave them to my 10 month old granddaughter for Christmas. She likes them and has no trouble gripping them, but of course uses them primarily as a chew toy for now. Most of the time it's my seven year old grandson who plays with them. We even toss them back and forth, making up rules as we go: We have to catch and throw with only one hand; I have to toss it in front of him so he can dive to catch it, etc. They're easy to grip, so even with my arthritis I have no trouble catching them one-handed. Nice, sturdy toy!

I purchased these for my son when he was about nine months old after I noticed he was always carrying these around at day care. The size is perfect for little hands and the texture makes it a bit easier to hold. Even though they are textured, they still roll just fine, so my son is able to roll them around. The little nubs are soft, so I don't have any safety concerns if my son would fall while holding one. We've had them several months and they're still in great shape, we haven't had any issues with them deflating at all. Now that he's older, it's a good game to spread the balls out around the room and instruct him to pick them up and put them away. We're now using them to work on colors a bit as well. A good all around toy.

Baby loves them! The balls are just under-inflated enough where my 10 month old can grip them and squeeze a bit. The spiky texture on them is awesome and something she has never felt before. There is no odor coming off of them, but I washed them with liquid Dawn just to be sure there was nothing funky left over from manufacturing. I myself like to play with them and bounce them from hand to hand as the baby watches. She thinks this is pretty cool and has started trying to throw them herself. Overall I am pleased.

I bought the Sassy 3 piece ball set and my son LOVED the blue ball in that set. It was his favorite and bounces so I decided to look for another set of balls similar to the blue ball to purchase when I came across these. He loves them and you get 4 colorful balls. They are not too firm nor too soft, a little more squishy and not flated as tight as some balls but they bounce nicely. They are just slightly larger then the other ball he has but perfect for his age and since he loves them I'm looking into getting some more of these that are larger for his Birthday. UPDATE: I hardly leave updates but we have had these for months now and it's one of his all time favorite toys. He loves to throw the balls and also crawl after them. It's one of the first things he goes after. Seriously just pick these up and you won't regret it.

I bought this set with four balls, kept two for my baby, and gave my friends one each. All three babies love the balls. They are perfect for little baby to even toddlers. Good quality and no plastic smell. The clear color is pretty and fun for babies to observe. Bouncy perfectly and nice size for baby to grab by one hand. Every baby should have one.
