All Oballs: Exceptionally Safe and Durable
Made of silicone, the Oballs are exceptionally durable; just pop them in your dishwasher when the need arises. Also, you’ll be relieved to know that Oballs contain no phthalates, PVC or latex.
The Oball Rattle
Oball Rattle, with its many finger holes, is just as easy to clutch and roll as the Original Oball. The soft texture is still just right for mouthing, but it also includes entertaining beads that rattle. This lets you help your baby develop his visual and auditory tracking skills. Babies find the bright colors, happy sounds, and squishy sides captivating. Plus it is extremely lightweight, so you never need to worry about a face shot from a rambunctious toddler! (Another oustanding component in the Timberdoodle Core Curriculum series!)
Big Oball
6″ in diameter, the Big Oball has bigger circles, bigger holes, bigger ball, bigger action. Everything about the Big Oball is bigger.
Yet it is just as smooth and shiny and just as indestructible as the Original Oball. Kick it, stomp it, crush it, and the Big Oball bounces right back to a perfectly formed sphere. (Another oustanding component in the Timberdoodle Core Curriculum series!)
Really Big Oball
A huge 7.5″ in diameter, this is the biggest Oball available. Use it for outdoor games with your preschooler, the easiest ball to catch for your toddler or anything else you would use a typical ball for.
Oball Jelly, A Colorful, Sparkly Ball
All the great Oball features are now available in the colorful sparkly Oball Jelly. Oball Jellies are full of finger holes that make them incredibly easy to catch, captivating to hold, and safe to throw.

Watch Caleb explain how Teaching Textbooks works, and what he gained as a student by switching to it two years ago. We often have parents come up to us a homeschool conferences and ask us why we recommend Teaching Textbooks so strongly. Here are just some of the reasons; to learn more about Teaching Textbooks, see samples, and take free placement tests click here.
Who is Caleb?
Caleb is currently our youngest employee here at Timberdoodle and we have been delighted to have him join us over the summer. His dad has worked for us for years, and some of his other siblings have put in hours here as well. You can imagine then what a pleasure it has been to work with Caleb! When we found out that Caleb had been using Teaching Textbooks successfully for two years, we knew it made sense to have him explain how it has worked for him.
From Our Online Store:
“A number of years ago we did the unthinkable and took a poke at a sacred cow when we said that we didn’t like the conventional big-name home school math programs. Though some families were steadfast in their defense, there has since been an increasing number of families who have come to realize that math programs originally designed to be used in government schools are wholly inadequate to meet the needs of home educators…” Click here to read the rest.
