This is simply a fun sensory and tactile toy! The frog has a different color "blob" inside, and as you squeeze, the blob squishes out of the holes in the outer layer of the ball. . Depending on where and how you squeeze him changes where the "blob" pops out.
Age: 5+
Approx 3"
Listing is for 1 ball. If you have a color preference leave it in the notes at checkout, otherwise I will select one for you.

HOW AND WHEN DO YOU USE BUSY BAGS?
-- My personal favorite way to use busy bags is
to have a quick “in case of an emergency” distraction for mischievous toddlers.
Any time my twin boys are getting a little reckless and needing a change of
pace I pull out an activity for an immediate distraction from the behavior.
Playing and learning with an activity is a lot more fun for both parents and
children than being frustrated and disciplined. Let them focus on play instead
of bad behavior and you can sit down and relax and watch their little minds at
work!
-- Parents, do you need a little time to make a
phone call without a toddler hanging on you? Do you need to cook dinner…..or
feed the new baby? My learning activities keep children actively engaged in a
healthy activity while you cook or do other tasks. My boys love to “play
something at the table” while we cook. We get out their trays and an activity
and they are happy!
-- Do you have a longer than expected wait while
waiting at a restaurant or doctor’s office? Busy bags are portable and make a
great quiet activity for when your toddlers are having a difficult time sitting
still and being quiet. Parents often find these games perfect for quiet
activities at church or out and about.
-- Do you need a quiet activity to engage your
older child while your baby naps? Or perhaps you need a quiet activity for
quiet time when your preschooler gives up naps? Parents also use busy bags to
give to younger children while the parent is giving a lesson to the older
homeschooled child. -- Teachers use these activities in learning centers or for
children who finish their work early and need a quiet activity.
-- Did your child’s early intervention teacher
or occupational therapist recommend you work on certain skills with your child?
My learning games are perfect therapy toys.
-- Are you unexpectedly stuck inside due to a
snow day or rainy weather?
-- Are you traveling or vacationing? Many busy
bags are perfect for on the go fun and travel to keep kids entertained in the
car or airplane.
Busy bags make great birthday presents for your
child or their friends. They are perfect for big brother or sister gifts or for
those who are having a new baby with a toddler in the house.
