Spiky Tactile Balls
Spiky Tactile Balls
Why We Love It
Hide it, hold it, roll it and toss it! This is one of our best therapeutic play balls because it's so versatile. The spikes are firm enough to use for deep pressure and massage, but soft enough to open up a world of tactile exploration. The easy to grip textured surface also makes this ball perfect for teaching kids to catch. You can under-inflate the ball so it has more 'give' and is easier to catch. Use during free play in early childhood, physical education classes and therapy sessions.

3 Tips for Sensory Friendly Haircuts
Does your child resist haircuts at the barber? They might not like the vestibular input of sitting on a chair that gets propelled upwards, feeling the apron around their neck, or the auditory stimulation of surrounding conversations and the buzz of razors.
