Review: Fun for babies and toddlers - I bought this for my baby nephew (8 months old) and he really loved playing with it and watching the beads swirl around. His older brother (aged 3) also really loved this ball! It was a great sensory easy present that I think they will continue to love and use for years to come. Actually, before I gave it to them I quite liked playing with it too! I think it feels good quality so I hope it will be durable and last long.
Review: Great quality Edushape Rainbow Sensory Ball, well used since grandson could sit up! - My grandson enjoyed playing with this sensory ball ever since he was first able to sit up. He his now turned two.The quality is excellent and it is very durable. A great feature is that you are able to easily inflate it yourself whenever it naturally goes down a bit over time, meaning it lasts through months of heavy play. It is a tad expensive for a baby ball, but given the brilliant quality and how much use he gets out of it, it is definitely worth it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is this ball made of?**
A: I just did some googling and found this from the manufacturer: "Edushape Sensory Balls are made of Phthalate free PVC." 

So this looks to be made from PVC

**Q: Does the ball bounce?**
A: yes it does.

**Q: BPA free? Also any chance of little balls inside coming out and posing choking hazard?**
A: Not sure about the BPA free but I highly doubt it has BPA. BPA is usually only in hard plastics not a soft ball. I don’t see any way the balls could come out, definitely not a choking hazard. My 19 month old loved it!

**Q: I see that this ball “conforms to phallate standards.” Is it phallate-free?**
A: The description states that it is bpa and phthalate free.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality Edushape Rainbow Sensory Ball, well used since grandson could sit up!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brings lots of excitement.
*by N***E on 21 October 2018*

Bought this on behalf of my sister for her son, my nephew. It’s not as big as I imagined it would be (I wrongly assumed it would be almost the same size as a basketball) however it is perfect for little hands. It’s exactly what my sister wanted & my nephew loves it. Spinning it, so that the beads spin & rattle, brings lots of excitement. Money well spent
