The picture of the ball it the top of the review is incorrect, see the picture at the bottom of my page from the online E LC catelogue for the real thing ....
I have seen and played with this blossom farm chime ball from the early learning centre. The early learning centre has had this ball for sale for a few years now. This chime ball costs £5. It is available on line ( http://www.elc.co.uk/toy-41047?&category_id=864&parent_category_id=531&pare nt_category_id=531 ) and ion high street shops.
The blossom farm chime ball is made from fabric so it's soft. This ball is made with 6 different coloured pieces of fabric which are sewn so in segments so that the ball looks like a colourful orange. One piece is spotty. The fabric is a type of jersey towelling
Come and play with baby and this ball with me.
Can you see the ball baby yes its up here, listen I will
shake the ball has a chime in it. Ohh did you see babies eyes look at the ball and baby smiled lets shake the ball again. Baby is trying to reach for the ball how sweet. There, there baby the ball is for you, you can hold it. Look baby is holding the ball tight in her/his grip the ball is going straight into baby's mouth. Ahhh babies always put things in their mouths. This ball is quite soft and safe. Come on baby give me back the ball, go on give it to me, baby is holding onto the ball tight. Come on baby I want that ball, that's right good girl boy. Watch the ball as I roll it
along your highchair tray that's right there it's rolling back again, can you hear its making a ringing chiming noise as it rolls along. Ooooppps it's fallen on the floor. There now I have picked it up you can play with this ball. Oh look baby has picked the ball up again she /he has thrown it on the floor it made a noise when it fell on the floor didn't it baby did you hear it ring. There I picked it up for you, Ohh dear did you throw the ball on the floor again I will pick it up again here you are …. What's this it's being thrown on the floor again, you mischief you, look at you smiling. I know its fun getting nanna to pick it up again isn't it. Mm this ball is getting a bit soggy and germy I think. The packaging gives washing instructions so lets put it to wash.
Come on baby you are a little bit bigger now play catch with me there you can catch the ball its soft so it will not hurt you, you can throw it back to me now that's a clever girl/boy, Well done you caught it. Can you roll it along the floor and knock the toys over? It's a bit difficult isn't it? My turn now watch me your turn next that's right give me the ball can you hear it chime as I catch it?
There now we have played with the ball. This ball encourages baby to look, their attention will be caught by the sounds and baby will like to touch this ball. This ball encourages and helps stimulate babies' senses. A baby learns a lot by touch sight and sounds learns fine and gross motor skills. Helps develop eye hand co-ordination .If you play with your baby with a toy like this you will be helping them practice and master skills, Talk to baby while you play ball you will be helping language development one of babies first words may be ball.
Hope you had fun
playing with this E LC blossom farm chime ball. Baby might like one for a present . Mary
