The unique, patented ribs on the Jacob´s Rib-It-Ball make it easy to grab even for the smallest hands. The handle-like ribs also aid in the development of balance and motor skills. Because of its unique rib design, Rib-It-Ball stays within reach. The handle-like ribs prevent it from rolling out of reach so that children experience more hands-on "play time" instead of frustrating "chase time". Jacob´s Rib-It-Ball is made with a unique, crisp material that naturally makes noise, enhancing auditory awareness every time it´s touched.
