Foam Ball Coated 9cm

This foam ball, measuring 9cm in diameter, is crafted from dense foam, enabling it to bounce while maintaining a soft, durable exterior. The special coating forms a resilient outer skin, providing a comfortable texture that is gentle on young hands and fingers as children develop fundamental throwing and catching skills. Unlike traditional inflatable balls, this foam ball does not require inflation, eliminating the risk of deflation. Its soft design helps reduce the likelihood of damage to property and is gentler on fingers when incorrectly positioned during play, making it particularly suitable for early learners.

These foam balls are perfect for both indoor and outdoor activities, supporting games such as tennis, softball, mini soccer and a wide range of imaginative play. Their versatility makes them a valuable open-ended resource for classrooms and learning spaces, promoting creativity and active play. Children can engage in colour recognition, sorting and counting activities while developing gross and fine motor skills, improving hand-eye coordination and muscle control. When used in group play, they foster communication, cooperation and teamwork, reinforcing essential social and emotional development. Their soft, sensory-friendly design also makes them suitable for special needs settings, where safety and sensory experiences are a priority.
