Sensory Massage Balance Yoga Ball - Textured (Yellow)

This textured sensory balance ball is a half ball: a rounded, bumpy dome with one flat side. Children stand on it, sit on it or rest their feet on it to practise balance and get firm tactile input through the soles of the feet. It is a small, low-cost way to add movement to a classroom, therapy room or home.

How it's used

• In the classroom: a quick balance break in a calm corner, standing on the ball while listening to a story, or a short wobble between activities before sitting back down.
• In OT and therapy sessions: balance, posture and body awareness activities, and as part of a movement routine or sensory diet planned by an occupational therapist.
• At home or in a sensory room: a foot massage tool, a stepping stone in an obstacle course, or a seat cushion for wobbly sitting.

Features

• Half balance ball with a textured, bumpy surface
• Use it for standing, sitting, feet or hand massage

Textured or spikey?

We also stock the Spikey Sensory Massage Ball. Both are half balance balls. The textured ball has a softer bumpy feel, while the spikey ball gives stronger input. Children who are sensitive to touch often start with the textured ball; children who seek strong input often prefer the spikey one.

Frequently asked questions

What is a sensory balance ball used for?
It gives children a safe way to move, balance and feel different textures. Teachers use it for movement breaks and calm corners; therapists use it for balance and body awareness activities.

Can it help children with ADHD or autism?
Many children with ADHD, autism or sensory processing differences enjoy short balance and movement breaks, and occupational therapists often include this kind of activity in a sensory plan. Every child is different, so check with the child's OT about how to use it.

Is it suitable for adults?
Yes. It is suitable for all ages and is also used for balance practice and foot massage.
