The unique, patented ribs on the Jacob´s Rib-It-Ball make it easy to grab even for the smallest hands. The handle-like ribs also aid in the development of balance and motor skills. Because of its unique rib design, Rib-It-Ball stays within reach. The handle-like ribs prevent it from rolling out of reach so that children experience more hands-on "play time" instead of frustrating "chase time". Jacob´s Rib-It-Ball is made with a unique, crisp material that naturally makes noise, enhancing auditory awareness every time it´s touched.

Not just a game, this product is also a learning tool. The game teaches basic sign language, and the players use the knowledge to compete against each other to complete word games. See It & Sign It teaches 60 words, the alphabet and numbers, and comes with 60 word cards, two secret decoder lenses and 10 double-sided game boards.

Finally — an easy-to-follow game that teaches American Sign Language the fun way! It’s six games in one, plus a DVD with live action demonstrations. Five young and friendly ASL “pros” take the guesswork out of signing by showing every sign clearly and accurately. In level 1 kids learn 10 words in six different categories for a total of 60 words, including the alphabet and numbers one through 10. It is a Parents’ Choice award winner and a Dr. Toy 10 Best Socially-Responsible Products award winner.

Kids find this matching game quite entertaining and almost magical as amusing and bold artwork is revealed one card at a time. Each game board includes small, circular portions of six different pictures. When the right cards are placed in the right order over the game board, so that holes in the cards match up with the image portions on the board, the six different pictures appear in their entirety. One of the holes reveals the name of the image, perfect for word recognition, matching skills and fun.

This ball includes the same super light feel and handle-like ribs as the original Rib-it-Ball only comes in a smaller size. Babies can grab onto the ribs and hear a satisfying crackly sound, shake it for a gentle chiming sound, chomp on the ring for teething relief, and pull on the string for a soothing whirring vibration. And of course, babies can toss it, grab it and hug it a bunch. The nylon fabric is cool and bright and the ribs are soft and gentle, sized just right for little hands to grasp.

One of the first things children recognize is faces. Buddy’s face, with his oversized eyes and friendly smile, will easily capture a child’s attention. Buddy’s high contrasting colors are extra appealing to young children and even children with low vision. Buddy’s stimulating textures encourage tactile exploration — the cool cotton, soft velour, rubbery raised dots, fluffy tuft and secret patch of rough fabric on Buddy’s back will appeal to all children, especially children will special needs. Buddy’s reversible vest crinkles with a wonderful crackling sound, yet can be removed for children who are extra-sensitive. His gentle array of sounds will encourage curiosity and learning. When Buddy’s tail is pulled, he vibrates with a soothing hummm that provides comfort for little ones eager to hug and hold.
