Melissa & Doug Kids Turtle Ball Pit With 60 Balls

The media could not be loaded. This Melissa & Doug Kids Turtle Ball Pit is wonderful for building gross motor, cognitive and social skills for your sweet babies! The turtle has a variety of tactile, visual and auditory sensory components to explore, such as crinkly feet, silky fabric, rattles and a mirror. While your child sits in the ball pit, the balls provide proprioceptive feedback to build confidence and strengthen sensory motor skills. This toy is very much loved by my 8-month-old and 2-year-old.For parents/caregivers who are wanting to expand their child's early language skills, here are some ways to play with this toy with the child in your life.- While your child picks up and drops the balls make silly sounds such as bonk, boing, pop or bop. Or place the ball on top of your head and pretend to sneeze it off. This will help promote early imitation of sounds.- Model pushing the balls in and out of the holes on the turtle shell. This will help build object permanence and imitation skills for actions.- For older children, you can model the colors of balls and ask your little one to find certain colors.Happy Playing!!!

My almost 8-month-old baby loves this turtle! She seems to enjoy playing with all of the pieces, and everything is a good size for her. I also appreciate that you can zip everything up and put it all away. My husband also plays “flying turtle” with her, which makes her laugh hysterically lol overall, it was a great purchase!

My little girl turned one September 05 and everyone decided to get her some an educational developmental tool.Initially, I felt extremely out of place. How could I be so naive to realize my very first child would prefer development toys?Well, Daddy went turtle ball pit whenever else went developmental. Needless to say Franklin the Turtle remains superior.Highly recommend! The balls come in an array of shapes so it makes it locket for your child.

Bought for my grand daughter and she loved it!

Love it, it’s well made and my 11 month old daughter fits well inside. She’s interested in playing with it and has fun. I gave 4 stars because all of the plastic balls it came with were smashed in. But they still serve their purpose.

A gift that they just loved. Would recommend

Cute little ball pit for my LO. Great for fine and gross motor skills.

Great for helping him learn to sit up
