Review

When a baby is learning fine motor skills, balls and larger objects can be frustratingly hard to grasp. The Tiny Love Inspiral Rainstick Ball is unique in that its shape involves a spiral cutout that’s perfect for little hands. Shaking the toy, which is about the size of a softball, creates several intriguing sounds and moves the tiny coloured beads inside the clear tube, producing a soothing rainstick effect, while there are different textures to explore in the slightly grippy exterior and the yellow satin ropes that protrude from the top. When the ball is placed a little out of reach, babies will be motivated to move to grab the colourful sphere, helping make tummy time and learning to crawl a little more engaging. And hey, when kids try a new challenge and succeed—without frustration—everyone wins!

It’s not just a rattle. It’s neat to be able to see all the noisy balls bounce from one end of the core to the next. The shape of this toy is also super cool, and one that I know intrigues my baby.” —Colleen, mom of one
