Peanut Ball

Boost movement, balance, and core strength with the Elizabeth Richards Peanut Ball-a fun, stability-focused sensory tool designed to support children with developmental, motor, and sensory needs. With its unique peanut shape and ridged surface, this versatile ball moves only forward and backward, offering extra stability and control that's perfect for building confidence in movement.

Ideal for children with low muscle tone, sensory-seeking behaviours, or coordination challenges, the Peanut Ball encourages safe, purposeful motion that supports balance, posture, and gross motor development. The ball's ergonomic design makes it a brilliant addition to physical education, occupational therapy, or sensory play sessions. Whether used for bouncing, stretching, rolling, or focused movement breaks, it offers a combination of strength-building and calming vestibular input in a way that's both fun and functional.
