A child's toy ball having upper 1B and lower 2B spherical domes attached by central fixing means enabling the portions to rotate independently. The dome surfaces display facial expressions 8B, 9, 12 and there are changeable fittings, such as hats, hair and sunglasses 7B, for the face depicted. The attachment means between the two halves of the orb may be a column 5 (16F, figure 7) with a lip (20G, figure 8) on the planar surface of one half insertable into a central hole on the planar surface of the opposing half (figured 7, 8). The facial expressions, such as eyes and mouths, may be printed or embossed on the surface of the ball. The ball may be made of compressible foam or rubber. The ball may be used to aid communication with autistic children by allowing the child to change the facial expression on the ball by rotating the halves.
