We bought on the recommendation of a Freuding the Skwish ball and were not disappointed! From an early age, our son played with it. The sounds are super comfortable, the little fingers can engage with the rubber bands and you can squeeze him sometimes and he spring back to its original form. The colors I personally find more beautiful than the normal Skwish, with "Neon" but it has not so much to do. Also great as a gift to know about!
