HABA Rainbow Fabric Ball - Machine Washable with 8 Different Sensory Affects

Great little sensory ball for little hands. My 10 month old grandson loves it.

My baby loves this thing, it’s easy for her to hold and play with! Highly recommend!

All was perfect,

I love this toy - and my son does to. It is so pretty and fun to play with. Also as he gets older we can use it to play catch.

Pros: The colors/patterns are very nice and vibrant, even after numerous washes. The different pieces of the ball are very well stitched and sturdy. The rattle, squeaky toy and crinkle paper are nice touches. FYI, the rattle and squeaky toy are hidden within the different fabrics. The HABA tag (which is the manufacturer) can be used to hang this ball on a car seat or stroller with a pacifier/toy strap. Cons: The ball has product tags stitched into the it, takes away from the aesthetic of the ball. 5 of the 8 sensory effect strip fabrics have started pilling. Meaning, little lint balls on the surface. The are ways to get rid of this, but its an additional thing to deal with. Also, there are a total of 6 different sensory effect strips from what I can tell, there are two sets of the same crinkle paper and two sets of another fabric which is the same. The patterns/colors are all different though. I think its pricey, but thats subjective to the buyer. There doesnt seem to be another sensory ball on Amazon, so I guess if you want one, this is the go to for your child. Overall: Im not disappointed in the product, my child has just started to grasp objects, so she hasnt really been able to play with this. In the end, that is the ultimate factor in whether it was a good purchase or not. The review is more to highlight different aspects of the product itself. Suggestions: Add a regular fabric tag (outside of the HABA tag) so that the ball can be hung on car seats/strollers with a strap. Im not sure how durable the HABA tag is, but an additional one would be beneficial for those who want to use the ball as a hanging toy for their child. Add more surprise elements within the other 5 fabrics. A squishy element within one the fabrics, a bean bag style effect in another fabrics, etc. It just adds to the sensory element of the ball, not just the fabric texture, but what is felt within the fabrics can be sensed as well.

My baby loves this toy. Doesn’t roll super easy but enough to get him to reach for it. All parts are different textures and sounds and I’m really happy spending 20 bucks on this.

You just cant go wrong with Haba! This can be used starting at an early age and still work for an older child.

Its a nice, large toy for babies to play with, to feel different textures. It has rattles and squeaks and crinkles too. But in my case, when we received ours it came absolutely reeking of perfume. I dont know if that was an accident in shipping, or if something happened and someone intentionally sprayed it. But it smelled awful. I think this isnt standard for the product.

Love this toy!! Its a great design for little hands to be able to grab, and all the different leaves of the ball are a different sensory activity. Our 4mo daughter loves this, and plays with it quite a bit. My only qualm is that despite the name saying machine washable, the directions explicitly state to only hand wash or spot treat as needed. I threw it in my washing machine anyways and it held up fine, but Im no longer confident that it cant withstand repeated wash cycles. I guess well see which kills it first - my teething baby or the washing machine!

The concept is great, but my 3 month old still finds this too big and bulky. Maybe when she is older...?
