November 2010 Notable Toys — Balls

These balls come in many colors and interesting shapes. Some like the Crater ball has finger holds while the Bubble ball has bumps. You might also like the Fashion balls with swirling indents that make them easier to grasp. Or look for the ones with alphabet letters, geometric shapes, or numerals molded into their surfaces. They are the size of a softball and make a nice impulse toy that leads to active play.

This ball never needs a pump and never goes flat even if punctured. Children and parents in the U.S.A and Canada can help to get balls to needy children every time they buy one. One is donated each time one is bought.
