Baby Einstein Bendy Ball Review.
"My four month old loves it!" 2009-06-07
By Jennifer (Troy, MI)
A mom in my group had a similar one of these for her baby who just loved it. So when we were walking through the baby aisles at Target, we saw this one and just put it in the stroller with our baby to see if he would like it--and he played with it the entire time! So, of course, we bought it!
He has many other rattle-type toys meant for grabbing, but this is the first one he has actually grabbed on to and played with. It is very sturdy and actually a little heavier than I anticipated by just looking at it--I was worried it might be too heavy for him to pick up (since we had never really seen him pick up anything before) but he manages with no problems!
"Lots of Different Ways to Throw a Bendy Ball" 2009-10-04

My twin 9-month olds, like all babies of that age, love to show when they're displeased by throwing something. When they try that with the Bendy Ball, most of the time they forget why they got upset.
This cute thing can be bent while holding and you can put your fingers inside it. Plus the ball inside that you can't quite get out has a little ball inside it that sounds like a bell almost. If you want to throw it to show your displeasure at something, you'll end up putting your fingers into it first. Those distractions are priceless.
By the time baby finally rolls this ball, it is with a positive frame of mind, and she wants it back to try again.
I can see that this durable little toy is going to be used in many ways and constantly. It's a lot of fun to roll their way and see how they try to figure out what to do with it.
Beyond that, the colors are great. The 5 outer caterpillar parts on diameter are cute. I think this is an educational toy that teaches about hand manipulation.
"so simple yet entrancing" 2009-11-18
By Akaijen
It could be that my daughter has a thing for balls b/c she also likes the plastic Gymboree balls. I bought this around 4 months. It was easy for her to pick up and mouth. At 7 months she likes to throw it and shake it.
I will say that it's not very bendy. I'd describe it as "having some give." My daughter can't bend it herself, and it takes some effort on my part. It also don't roll around like a ball, owing to the caterpillar running along the outside of the ball. I find this useful b/c it doesn't roll out of my daughter's reach, but don't get it if you're expecting to play ball with it.

This ball is just right for little ones, they can grasp easily, colorful, and engages with the ball inside. Very entertaining.
"Bright Colored Ball" 2009-11-25
By Marilyn Smisek
My grandson, age l3 months, loved the ball as soon as he saw it.
It has bright colors and is easy to grab. The sound made when it is rolling is playful and he quickly walks or crawls after it. I was very glad that I bought it. I thought the ball was small when I first saw it but it turned out to be perfect for him to easily pick up or throw. It's a fun toy!
