Melissa & Doug Kids Turtle Ball Pit with 60 Balls, Green

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!

I bought this for my 11 month old. The turtle that holds the balls is pretty small and my girl doesn't like to sit in it. But she loves all the colorful balls it came with and loves to play with the turtle by shoving the balls through the holes.

Love this toy- my son is one and he fits perfectly in this. He is learning his colors, liked to try to push the balls into the holes on the side and rattle the ball by the tail. Cute design, easy clean up and love the different textures. It doesn’t take up too much room and love that I can zip/Velcro the pit closed so all the balls stay in when we’re done.

A gift that they just loved. Would recommend

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

Durable and creates lots of entertainment for little ones.

•La tortuga tiene diferentes telas y accesorios, aunque a mi bebé en principio le dió miedo, yo creo que por el tamaño, en ese entonces sólo jugaba con las pelotas. Ahora ya juega con todo, pero no se mantiene dentro. En cuanto a las pelotas son de 2 tamaños y son suaves, no duele si caes sobre ellas. Me gustó mucho la calidad y definitivamente lo recomiendo para bebés que ya se mantengan sentados.

Very cute, easy to transport balls but if the kid can crawl - they just get out of it. Perfect for a baby who can sit up but not crawl. Hours of entertainment.

Está hermosa! Las pelotas super suaves le encantaron. Además la tortuga super bonita tiene adornos bonitos y didácticos. No es una alberca enorme de pelotas.

El producto es de muy buena calidad y el precio a como nos salió también fue una ganga.
