The Clutch Ball was originally developed as a toy for children (3 months and up). It's soft angles make it easy for children to roll, toss, and catch, all while helping to develop the small muscles in the fingers and hands without the injuries which can be caused by traditional balls. The bright colors and patterns will encourage hours of play. You can hang the Clutch Ball in your baby's crib for even more enjoyment. The ball can also be used by adults as a stress reliever or for hand exercising.
