O-Balls - very catchy

We have just returned from a fabulous trip to the USA.  It was a fabulous trip for many reasons but here I will write about the fabulous thing I found whilst wandering the aisles of Wallmart looking for Fritos.

O-balls...in the childrens toy section for a couple of dollars. Found here.

The design of O-balls means it can be used to scaffold the skill of catching. It allows the learner to grasp the ball upon contact with much greater success. Whilst they do roll away once dropped, they do not bounce all over which means less time chasing the ball around. They can be used instead of tennis balls in many throwing and catching games and activities.

Discourage the hooking of fingers through it whilst throwing.

I loved them so much I bought four of them. I highly recommend them.
