The idea for this cute, little, fuzzy, round guy with the big mouth, has been around for a while. When you squeeze the corners of his mouth he opens wide, so you can feed him. Kids love interacting with the hungry fellow. Great hand strengthening and open webspace positioning encouraged. Bilateral coordination and in-hand manipulation can also be facilitated. Comes with one Tennis ball guy and 20 chips for feeding. This item contains latex and should not be used by those with allergies.
better than the one I bought04/19/2018 BySusan So I admit, I bought the cute green plastic feed the frog game from another company and was disappointed. I am an OT, and work with many different children throughout the day. The other one was much too easy for most of my students. It had very little resistance so didn't require much hand strength from the students. And he was too big for little hands. These may not look as fancy and finished as that one, but it really gets the hand working and that is really all I care about. oh- and my students love him! We named ours Dennis (instead of tennis).
Worth buying07/22/2024 ByAndrea I have made a few of these over the years, but they really are just easier to buy. Sometimes the balls I have cut had goo inside or smelled bad. Also love that they come with feeding chips.
cute guy09/16/2016 ByCara He is cute and is alot easier to buy then make. i saw it on pinterest and tried. But the balls all had a sticky center so i couldn't use chips. These are smooth and ready to play with.

Latex11/27/2023 ByMeg If these tennis balls have latex in them you are releasing latex particles into the air . Some children and adults are allergic to latex . Our responseYes, of course you are correct. Thanks for reminding us. We will immediately put a latex warning on this item!
