Our sensory Clutch Ball toy is designed to delight your baby's developing senses. Signature high-contrast hand painted graphics grab baby's attention visually, while varied textures provide tactile stimulation. Its beautiful organic shell fabrics and acorn pattern make it the perfect keepsake gift.

Also called an "Amish puzzle ball", it was popularized by Montessori educators. Our balls do not come apart, so are not actually a puzzle, but your baby will examine it as if it were a puzzle. Sensory Clutch Balls are used in many ways with babies from 3 months of age - attach a strap and hang above your baby's gym for visual stimulation and to promote kicking. At about 5 months your baby will begin to move the ball with her hands and begin to try and clutch it. The segments make it easier for a baby to clutch than a regular ball. And when it drops, it won't roll far. It's the perfect first ball for babies, and is a popular favorite baby toy.

Michael ★★★★★

My 5-month-old grabs this thing the second it's in reach and won't let go — the bumpy texture on one side seems to be her favorite part. It's light enough that she can wave it around without bonking herself, which I appreciate.

Henry ★★★★★

The hand painted graphics are what sold me, and they're even better in person. My son is only four months but he already reaches for the little textured bumps and hangs onto it during tummy time.

Lucy ★★★★★

My baby girl locks onto those high-contrast acorn patterns every time—her eyes just light up. The mix of smooth and bumpy textures means she'll happily gnaw on it for a good ten minutes while we're out running errands. It's the first toy she actually reaches for again and again.
