I created a "ball-of-the-month" club for my nephew, and sent him a new sport ball each month.
Soccer, football, rugby,baseball,basketball,aussie rules football,hockey,volleyball, tennis, etc. Along with the ball was a 8x11 card for each sport that showed the actions of each sport (tennis raquet hitting, soccer ball kicking, rugby throw, etc). He loved the variety, he loved watching me act out the sports. At age 6, he still plays with them and knows the rules for each sport. Not that it helps him at all, since his only sport is karate. For a friend's kid, I gave her a set of rubber balls (like playground balls) in a yellow box in red, green, amber. It looked like a traffic light, but could be opened and the balls played with.
