Squeeze Baby’s Head to Relieve Stress
The Japanese have come up with a fun way to relieve stress: squeezing a baby’s head. Just give these a squeeze, the baby makes a face back. Your mood improves immediately.
But don’t use a real baby.
Use one of these resin balls with facial expressions that looks like a baby’s head.
Kao Maru (translated: round face) balls stretch and squeeze and make faces at you while you take out your frustrations on them.
They come in four moods/expressions: yuck, relief, joy and pout.
And, oddly, they’re available through Amazon!

jeannesager commented on Jun 05 09 at 5:57 pmThe shaken baby app was WTF, but I think this is just funny . . . goofy, but funny.
kristaly commented on Jun 08 09 at 1:24 amI bought these ages ago (3-4 years) when they were NOT marketed as baby heads, and really, they look nothing like baby heads. They are fun to squeeze, but FYI if they get dirty, wash with dishsoap, dry, and then powder with baby powder/cornstarch if you have the white ones cuz they get crazy sticky.
