Description
Peanut-shaped therapy ball designed for kids to sit, bounce, and roll on. The saddle shape prevents rolling away, making it safer than a standard therapy ball. Available in multiple colors.
Why it helps
The peanut shape provides a stable base while still allowing vestibular input through bouncing and rocking. Sitting on a dynamic surface engages the proprioceptive system and core muscles, helping kids stay alert and focused during seated activities.
Pros
- Peanut shape prevents rolling away
- Great for active sitting during homework or circle time
- Anti-burst material rated to 300 lbs
- Includes hand pump
Cons
- Needs to be re-inflated periodically
- May be distracting for some kids initially
