Baby Products Reviews of Baby Einstein Bendy Ball
Customer Review: Great toy for an infant
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this ball for my daughter around 4-5 months old at a local baby store. It was an instant success. She really enjoyed the sounds and would shake it for several minutes, trying to get the ball out. Much of the outer surface/webbing is soft, flexible plastic. When she wasn't shaking it, should would comfortably chew on it.
The webbing made it very easy for her to hold it in her hands or pick it up. However, since it is a ball, I spent a lot of time chasing it across the floor if she dropped or threw it. Not as much fun for me, but she enjoyed it. I can say that the ball is extremely durable, as it is still intact after several tumbles from counter-height and rolls across the linoleum floor.
Other than just visual and sound stimulation, I'm not sure what the overall purpose of the ball is, but in my opinion, it appeared to also help her manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination. She got really good at moving the ball from one hand to the other and picking it up. It also built up her hand strength/control because she stopped dropping it as often the longer she played with it. These may be secondary benefits, but are just a few things that I noticed and was pleased to see in her progression, as would any parent.
As with any baby toy, this thing can get extremely dirty, either from gooey hands, chewing or drops on the floor/ground. That said, it's not the easiest thing to clean without submerging it in water (not recommended), especially with the ball on the inside. I wish there were a way to open for cleaning. It is apparent that although you can see the screws holding it together, it wasn't necessarily intended to be dissembled for cleaning or other purposes, so I left it intact and cleaned it the best I could, despite my urges to get out my screwdriver.
Overall, I think it's a great toy for an infant. Just keep in mind that it can be difficult to clean at times.
At 14 months old now, she has understandably become bored with this ball and no longer plays with it for more than a minute or so. This was expected, as she becomes interested in more interactive/learning toys.
