The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Play balls are a wonderful developmental tool for babies. Soft, light balls your baby can grasp (about 10-15 cm across) are best. Balls with different textures, with rattles inside, or with beads support sensory development.

For 3-6 month olds, soft fabric or light plastic balls work well; from 6-12 months, as babies crawl, they can push balls and chase after them. After 12 months, larger, lightweight inflatable balls are good for simple rolling games.

When picking a play ball, make sure there are no sharp edges, it's big enough your baby can't fit it in their mouth, and it's made from BPA-free material.
