Full details
The Oli & Carol Fruit Salad Sensory Balls set is designed for infants and toddlers who need a safe, natural, and stimulating toy for teething and sensory exploration. These 100% natural rubber balls provide a soft, tactile experience that helps soothe sore gums while encouraging motor skill development through grasping and bouncing. While their small 5cm size is perfect for tiny hands, parents should note that because each piece is uniquely handcrafted and hand-painted, slight variations in color and shape are to be expected.

FAQs
Are these toys safe for newborns?
Yes, they are 0+ certified and made from non-toxic, natural materials, though they are specifically recommended for babies 7 months and older.
Can these be used as bath toys?
Absolutely. Because they have no holes, water cannot get trapped inside, making them perfectly hygienic for the bath.
How do I clean them?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid boiling or putting them in the dishwasher to protect the natural material.
Are they free from plastic?
Yes, they are made from 100% natural rubber tapped from trees and contain no PVC, BPA, or phthalates.
What is the size of each ball?
Each fruit ball measures approximately 5cm in diameter, making them ideal for small grasping hands.
Troubleshooting
The ball looks slightly different than the picture.
These toys are handmade and hand-painted. Minor variations in pigment application and shape are normal and part of the artisanal manufacturing process.
Dust or lint is sticking to the surface.
Natural rubber can occasionally develop a slight static charge or tacky feeling. Simply rinse with water and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no assembly required for these toys; they are ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To maintain the hygiene and longevity of the natural rubber, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Do not sterilize in boiling water or dishwashers, as excessive heat can degrade the natural rubber.
- Storage: Keep in a dry place when not in use. While they are mold-resistant, storing them in a damp, enclosed environment is never recommended for natural materials.
- Inspection: Regularly check the surface for any signs of wear or degradation, especially if your child has started teething with teeth, as natural rubber can tear if punctured.
