Peanut Ball for Sensory Use

Named for their peanut-like shape these balls can be beneficial tools for children with sensory issues. They offer a range of therapeutic benefits that can help address sensory processing challenges. Here's how they can be used:

• Vestibular Stimulation: Rolling on the ball can provide vestibular input, helping children to improve their sense of balance and spatial orientation. This can be soothing for some children and help them to better process movement-related sensory input.
• Seated Activities: Sitting on a ball during activities like reading or homework can help children with sensory issues stay focused. The slight movement allowed by the ball can provide the sensory input needed to maintain attention and reduce fidgeting.
• Core Strengthening: Using the ball can help improve core strength and stability, which are important for overall motor development. Activities like balancing on the ball or performing exercises while seated on it can strengthen core muscles.
• Coordination and Balance: Performing exercises and activities on the peanut ball can help enhance coordination and balance, which are often areas of difficulty for children with sensory processing issues.
• Active Play: The peanut ball can be incorporated into active play, encouraging children to move and exercise. Activities like rolling, bouncing, or balancing on the ball can be fun and engaging ways to promote physical activity.
• Therapeutic Exercises: Occupational therapists often the balls in therapy sessions to help children with sensory issues engage in specific exercises designed to improve sensory processing, motor planning and body awareness.
• Alternative Seating: Peanut exercise ball can be used as an alternative seating option for children who struggle with traditional chairs. The dynamic surface can help keep children engaged and comfortable, particularly during activities that require prolonged sitting.
• Relaxation Techniques: The gentle rocking or bouncing motion on a peanut ball can be very soothing and help reduce anxiety and stress. This can be particularly beneficial for children who have difficulty calming down or who experience sensory overload.
