I have a 4 year old with mild cerebral palsy and would like to get this to strengthen his hand. Would it be too large for a 4 year old to hold?

a bit, probably yeah too big for a kid one hand unless strengthen both hands at same time, then it'll be good I suppose.

It might be on the large side but if you get him a soft one he should be able to squish it. As he gets older, bigger and stronger he can move up to a firmer ball. They have a tacky feel to them so he is not likely to drop it. The nice part about it being on the large side for a 4 year old is that he will not choke on it. : )

I think this would be too small for 3 yr old...I have a friend who used it perfectly for her 18mo old...I definitely would NOT get it for a 4 yr old!

We bought it for our boy when was 4 months old. If they can hold themselves upright they can use it.

I got this for my grandson for Christmas and he had just turned 4. He loves to play with it and so do I! I would say if you plan to play with it together it is appropriate.

Absolutely. I have 4 kids on them ranging from 3 to 11y...from not so strong to very strong. Part of the wall I positioned the holds ergonomically and part of the wall I turned them "upside down"---in a way not so easy to grasp. You could do a whole wall with lots of holds in easy to grab positions. Then, in time, pull some holds off and turn others upside down for more challenge.

Hi there, well it isn't comfortable at all for an adult hand. Plus the mouth part doesn't close fully when you "talk" with it, it looks like it stays open. For children it's okay. In my opinion, they aren't of good cuality. I've seen and played with really good puppets, but those are just a bit more expensive.Hope this will help you make up your mind.

In my opinion, no. I bought it as a gift for a 4 year old and it took her awhile to get the hang of it. But only you know the capabilities of your child, so I would lean more towards a toddler version.

A 4yr old would be ok, for this one. I thought I ordered the large one. But this ball is really small and they can injure themselves on them. I would hate to see what the smaller one looked like. My grandson tried bouncing on it and the ball bounced forward and he busted his head on the ground. If your 4year old is very strong and has good control they may be able to use it. I thought my 3yr old grandson did, but everytime he tried it he got hurt.

Hi yes it would be too big for a 6 year old in my opinion. This is for an adult. I am a woman with a smaller hand, wrist and arm and I have to pull the tabs all the way over to fit tight. It is very stiff as it has metal on the inside to keep it stable and unbendable. Find something for a child specifically in my opinion. Hope that helps.

While my children were not that young when we purchased it, we have had my niece in it when she was 15 months. The seat belts are adjustable and I would think the only issue would be to make sure their necks are strong enough to handle a little juggling. Even with my four year old in it, the attachments tends to sway back in forth at times. Honestly, one of the best purchases for us though. Best of luck!

Absolutely! My two grandsons are 2 & 3 and they did pretty good with it. It's a very lightweight plastic. Easy to hold. Fun!

I'm not really sure. It's been awhile since we made this purchase. I do remember the batteries seemed to run down quickly. I purchased it for my grandson who was 5 at the time. He didn't seem to have a problem with it being too large for his hands. I,m sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Honestly, my 4 year old uses it and he probably could have used it when he was 3 with no problems! May actually be too small for an 8 year old.

I would think it would work just fine for you my friends little boy used it to hold my son and he's tiny he's only 8 years old so you should be good.

I purchased this table for my great nephew for his second birthday and he will be three in March. He still plays with this set from time to time, but it's not his "go to" one. I don't think a four-year old's size would be too big for this toy but in terms of maturity, it might not hold his interest as long as you would like. I hope this helps.

Probably not too big. I think it is great for 4-8 years old. My daughter just turned 5. She will be able to use for a few years at least.

I bought mine for a 3 and a 5-year-old. My older child is almost 50 lbs and it holds his weight fine. My younger child has no problem turning it on and using it.
