Kobe likes to play with a ball. Now that he realizes that you can also play together with the ball, we have fun together, but unfortunately that fun is always short-lived. When the ball rolls across the stone floor, it makes too much noise for Kobe. Bye bye fun, hands over the ears – Hello overstimulated Kobe.
So we test the rubbabu mini ball. Usually it takes a long time before Kobe wants to play with something new, so I look at his reaction a bit hesitantly. The ball with studs is turned in all directions, it is licked and also bitten. This way Kobe is always introduced to new material. The ball survives the first acquaintance wonderfully – it is in contrast to other rubber balls – much firmer. Kobe spontaneously starts throwing it, and he discovers that the ball also bounces. Cheerfully he crawls and walks through the living room, he laughs and has fun. Very nice to see. We play with it for a long time. The ball doesn’t make a sound when you want to roll or throw it on the ground and it fits nicely in his little hands. And unlike other toys, he spontaneously grabs them when he comes back from school. The Rubbabu ball is a great success for our son.
When Kobe gets something new in his hands, he first starts playing with it. Everything runs for him, including things that shouldn’t turn ? at all, so the visual hourglass also has to pass the turning test. After some getting used to it, I illustrate how the thing works and then he quickly gets to work with it. “Ooooh, woow” he invariably says, “green”. He looks, is intrigued and turns the drip track in all directions, because the drops go with his movements and that is fun. He looks through it and I see that this is a moment of rest for him, one that he would otherwise never take, because his head never stands still. He takes the time to hang out in the chair and for a few moments the focus is completely on this visual hourglass.
