Fair Trade - Loose Parts White Felt Balls - 20 Pieces

A Calming, Natural Resource for Open-Ended Play - The Fair Trade Loose Parts White Felt Balls by Papoose are hand-felted sensory play items crafted from 100% natural wool. Ethically made in Nepal under Fair Trade conditions, these versatile balls measure approximately 3 cm in diameter and offer a beautifully tactile and calming addition to any early learning or play-based environment.

With their neutral white and soft grey tones, these felt balls allow children to focus on form, pattern, and movement without overstimulation. Their simplicity and soothing palette make them perfect for sensory trays, sorting games, fine motor activities, STEM provocations, and small world play. Each ball is unique in colour and shape due to the handmade nature of the product, offering children authentic, natural textures that enrich sensory experiences.
