Customers Say

Customers love the See-Inside Activity Balls for captivating babies through preschoolers with visible moving objects that provide sensory stimulation. Parents appreciate their durability and how they encourage physical activity, though many note the balls arrive deflated and must be inflated with a pump that isn't included. The balls with beads or heavier items were consistently more engaging than the lighter ones.

Novel bouncy balls

I find these to be OK. They have a decent bounce, and the different materials and textures inside are good. Maybe the ball material is supposed to be a bit tacky to help little hands keep a hold of them, but they are somewhat dust magnets and need to be washed off periodically. (If used in a daycare setting that probably would happen regularly anyway.) Would I purchase again? Maybe.

It's fun to see the various elements move inside the balls as they are rolled. Size was easy for toddler to handle. The balls are somewhat tacky though.

Good size for toddler

Easy for toddler to handle. Good quality and fun to see the various elements inside the balls as they are rolled. However, the balls had a tacky/sticky surface from the start. Even after washing them with dish detergent and water and airing them out, they are still tacky/sticky. Disappointing. Do NOT recommend.

See inside balls

I work as a nanny for 18 month old boy , he loves those see inside balls and he is playing with them all day long . Perfect for physical activity and learning to throw the ball , trying to catch the ball . Best gift for Christmas present. Price is a little bit expensive but it is worth each penny.
