Based on a Japanese designed soft ball, The Montessori Kicking Ball is an easy to grasp textured fabric ball approx 15 cm in diameter. It is made of 12 wedge shaped cushions sewn and stuffed with soft filling (9x5x5 cm) then connected together at the ends where triangles are formed. At the bottom of the ball, a bell is firmly and safely attached. Designed to stimulate leg movement and produce repetitive sound, The Montessori Kicking Ball is hung by ribbon near the infant's legs and feet at a height where it can easily be kicked by the child.
