A Colourful Puzzle Ball for Busy Little Hands
Push, pull, peel and lace: this sensory ball is covered in grooves that you fill with soft, colourful silicone strings, making routes, patterns and pictures as you go. It is quiet, it needs no batteries and no screen, and it is just as satisfying for grown-ups who like something to keep their hands busy.

When little hands need something to do
What it is
Push, peel, lace and bridge
The ball is a soft silicone sphere with grooves all over its surface. Children press the colourful silicone strings into the grooves, pull them out again, wrap them round, or make little bridges and loops that stick out.
Pushing, peeling, lacing and bridging gives little fingers plenty to do and helps practise fine motor skills, finger strength and hand-eye coordination, the same kind of hands-on play found in Montessori-style learning.
How it works
Twist to open, two toys in one
Align and rotate the two halves left and right to open the ball. A click tells you it is closed again.
Play with it as a whole sphere, or split it and use each half on its own, so two children can play at the same time. Inside there is room to keep the loose strings, so nothing gets lost.
Endless patterns
Each side can play different routes
Every half has its own surface to work on: make a maze on one side and a rainbow, a heart or a pattern of loops on the other. Each time the strings come out, a new picture can go in.
Play together or alone
Calm, hands-on play for the whole family
Children can lose themselves in it on their own, or build patterns together with a parent or a sibling. Many families keep one in the bag for car trips, cafes and waiting rooms.
- Multi-sensory play: bright colours to look at, soft strings to feel.
- Quiet: no noise and no batteries.
- Creative: there is no wrong way to play.
Made for touch
Soft, washable silicone
The ball and strings are made of soft, non-toxic food-grade silicone together with PP. It is washable, so a quick rinse keeps it clean after sticky fingers or a trip outdoors.
Because it is chew-resistant, it also suits children who like to explore with their mouths. As with any toy with small parts, children should play under adult supervision.
The strings
Bright, bendy and easy to grip
The strings are flexible and grippy, so even small hands can press them into the grooves and pull them out again.
