More versatile than expected.

Bought these on sale and they were a great purchase. The cute animals and colors are great for identifying animals, teaching the names and sounds and are fun to roll and toss.

Perfect for babies hands

My son who just turned one loves holding these balls. I wasn’t thinking he would like it. But he can’t go without it. He rattles. Love how it comes in a 6 pack! Worth the price!

Our favorite toy balls

This set has been worth the money. They hold up well and can be easily wiped off. They are great for indoor play. My one-year old loves that they make three different sounds. I love that we can throw and roll them around the house without injury or mishap.

So Stinking Adorable!

The perfect size for small hands. Each ball so cute. My granddaughter who will be one in a month has the nickname of Stinky which explains the title of my review So Stinking Adorable. I just love these little balls. Highly recommend for little ones.
