Starter/Learner Basketball Ball - Size 5
This basketball is the perfect first pick for kids taking their very first shot at the game, whether it’s on the court, the driveway, or the lawn.

Helps build hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and focus.
The outside of the ball is made from high-quality rubber with a durable butyl bladder inside, plus nylon-reinforcements for extra strength. The materials ensure great bounce and help the ball keep its shape.
Size 5 (junior size), approx. 22 cm in diameter. The ball comes uninflated.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

It supports your child's depth perception to play ball using their hands, feet, head, or a racket/bat. Ball games may also have rules, and it's good for your child to learn how to follow them. So, when your child firmly maintains that there's absolutely NO penalty, or that the ball was not out of bounds, don't worry - that's a learning moment. Playing ball games also gives your child's proprioception real workout - and that's a sense that cannot get overstimulated.
Supports essential skills that really benefit your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- This type of play develops your child's depth perception. Strong depth perception skills help your child stay safe when navigating traffic.
- Stimulates the vestibular sense, which improves vision, balance, and body awareness.
- Stimulates your child's proprioception, which helps them build the confidence to use their body through active play and benefits their concentration.
