I am a stay-at-home mother of two wonderful children, ages 1 and 3.

When my son was about 6 months old, he had a toy giraffe with a knotted string for a tail. He loved playing with the string, and would rub it to help him fall asleep.

He loved it so much, that I thought it would be great to create something for him that had lots of strings for him to play with. So, that is how the Zadyball was born -- out of love for my son.

Since the creation of the original, I have made several Zadyballs, and given them to friends and family as gifts for their babies. I have heard nothing but praise and appreciation.

I hope that you and your family will enjoy Zadyball as much as we have. My three-year-old son still won't sleep without his!

What is a Zadyball™?

A Zadyball™ is designed first of all with babies in mind. They are soft to hold and cuddle, and have lots of strings to grab and rub.

Lots of babies have a “lovey” and many times the item they pick has something for them to rub – whether it’s the corner of a blanket or the nose on a teddy bear. The knotted ends of the strings are great to fulfill baby’s need for something to rub!

SAFE FOR YOUR BABY - No small parts to pose a choking hazard. The strings are only 4 inches long, are securely sewn in place, and will not wrap around even the smallest of necks. And NO lead-based paint! ;)
