A fun toy for any baby; great for developing gross motor skills
By Cerebral Mom
This is a fun toy for any baby; they seem drawn to the colors, rattling balls inside, and music (although an adult's help is required to push the button until the child is older).
Since it's inflatable, it's great for travel, too.
For kids with special needs (including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, hypotonia, limb-kinetic apraxia, dyspraxia, and other muscle and movement disorders), this is a GREAT therapeutic toy! Ask your physical therapist: there are dozens of ways that a child can play with a roller to strengthen their trunk muscles. It's also particularly nice for kids with cerebral palsy whose legs "scissor," since it will keep the child's legs apart when sitting straddling the roller. Because it's inflatable, it's a great way to continue your home therapy program while away from home.
Therapeutic play suggestions:
Have your child lay over the roller to play with a puzzle or activity center on the floor in front of him.
Have your child sit straddling the roller to play a game. For example, place a puzzle base on the couch, with the child straddling the roller facing the puzzle base. Sit behind your child and hold the puzzle pieces so that he has to reach up and behind him to reach the piece, then switch sides for the next piece.

great for gross motor skills!
By Mrs. B
My son loves this toy. He likes to roll it back and forth then look at the balls inside through one of the two windows. He also gets a good laugh when we play peek a boo through the two windows. The balls inside jingle enough to get his attention but not so loud that they would be annoying.And there is a little music button but it is hard to push and he is more interested in the balls inside anyways.
