Accessories Included
Start the ball play! 10 play balls and a scoop cup are included with the water table, spinner, flippers, and tower.
Double Side Flippers!
Catapult the play balls into the chute or as high as you can! Kids will practice their fine motor skills with the put-and-take ball play and the two side flippers to see who can flip the balls higher!
Teach Cause and Effect
The ball tower features three different ways to play and an exciting maze of ramps below! Little ones will have a blast discovering how each path works and the effect on the play balls falling back into the basin.
Social Play
The table platform is large enough for multiple kids to play together, building social and sharing skills.
Why Should Your Child Play with Ball Toys?
Physical + Motor Skills
Gripping the spherical ball shape requires balance to grip and hold, a lesson for your child in physical control and muscle memory. The physical control of rolling, throwing or transferring a ball from one hand to the other is repeated frequently throughout playtime with ball toys as well.
STEM Learning
The physics concepts of movement, force, gravity, and cause and effect are present in ball play toys. Through repetition and observation, kids will start to learn which movements make the ball roll, bounce, or fly through the air and land – and which movements make the ball stop altogether.
Visual Skills + Memory
Visual-spatial skills are heavily involved with ball play. If your child rolls the ball too hard, it may hit something or fall off of a table. If the ball is thrown too softly, it will fall short of the intended basket. They’ll learn how to contain the ball within their play space through trial and error, improved hand-eye coordination and physical dexterity.
Language + Social Skills
Passing a ball (whether by handling, rolling or throwing) teaches cooperation. This type of play teaches kids how to take their turn and rely on the other person to keep the game going, and sometimes to communicate and ask for the ball back.
Play Together!
Color Coordination: Work together with your child to send the balls down the ramps. Help each other try to get as many of one color down the same path as possible! Make it a competition by claiming certain colors and taking turns sending the balls down the paths. If either path has all of just one person’s chosen ball colors, they’re the winner!
Ball play is a great way to work on eye contact. Have your child pass the ball to you, then wait for them to make eye contact with you before passing it back.
Interact with your child as they play with the water table! Ask questions like “How does the ball get back to the bottom?” and “How is each path different?”. Mix it up by taking turns and keeping time to see who can get the most play balls down the chute faster!
Who can catapult a play ball higher? Use the table’s side flippers to shoot the balls into the air and land in the ball tower!
