Introduction:

Ball game is usually a fun game, but it also provides many developmental opportunities such as; hand-eye coordination, gross and fine motor skills, grasping skills, problem solving, language, balance and coordination, spatial awareness and object permanence, among others. The conceptual ball can be considered as a sensory ball (with a textured surface) which greatly stimulates the sense of touch, sight and hearing, especially in babies from 2 months of age. Simple activities like rolling, kicking, throwing are not only great for their development, but they also contribute to the development of their creativity, and critical social skill, knowing how to wait their turn, sharing and following rules.

3. In 10 pentagons number the sides 1, 2 and 3 as in the image. 

4. Place the pentagon numbered on all its sides with 1 in the center, then place five pentagons around it, matching the # 1 sides and cook (only the # 1 sides), repeat this step with the remaining pentagons.

5. Sew all sides of pentagons # 2. 

6. Have both parts of the ball fully sewed on sides # 1 and # 2.
