My daughter is 6 months old so she can't really do much with the ball yet but she loves to hold it and look at the adorable pictures. The ball is soft and I like that it's big so she can play with it when she's older too. My daughter also loves the "chime"-like jingle it makes when rolled. The color contrasts are pleasing to the eye as are the pictures on it and grab the attention of little ones. I highly recommend this ball.
