The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

From around the 6th month onward, play balls are a wonderful tool supporting various areas of development. Soft, lightweight, easy-to-grasp balls support hand-eye coordination, cause-and-effect thinking (rolling when pushed), and fine motor skill development. With older babies (8-9 months+), gently rolling the ball and turning it into a hide-and-seek game can be fun. As with all toys, make sure balls are large enough that baby can't swallow them and don't contain small detachable parts. Textured fabric balls or soft squishable toy balls are generally safer and more stimulating than rough, hard balls that lose their paint quickly.
