The Manhattan Toy Jazzy Ball is one of those baby toys that actually keeps little ones engaged and fascinated! The soft plastic cage is perfect for tiny hands to grip, and the light-up center with sounds creates this wonderful cause-and-effect learning experience. Every time my baby shakes it, the lights flash and it makes these pleasant sounds that never seem to annoy me like some electronic toys do. The BPA-free construction gives me peace of mind, and the award-winning design really shows in how well it's held up to drooling, throwing, and general baby roughhousing. It's lightweight enough that even young infants can handle it, but interesting enough that older babies still enjoy it. We use it during tummy time, in the car seat, even in the crib for those wakeful moments. The batteries have lasted surprisingly well, and replacement is straightforward when needed. At 4 inches diameter, it's the perfect size for little hands without being a choking hazard. Whether you're looking for a first toy or something to add to your sensory play collection, this Jazzy Ball delivers entertainment and developmental benefits in one colorful package. It's definitely earned its Parents' Choice award!
