Squish, step, and explore! The Weplay Squishy Tactile Shell set is a beautifully designed sensory resource that invites babies and toddlers to step, crawl, and play their way through a wonderfully textured world. With its engaging shell designs and gentle height, this set makes an ideal first stepping stone for little ones taking their earliest steps in movement and balance. Each set includes two of each shell design: the Scallop Shell, which provides a gentle rebound; the Oval Shell, which delivers intense tactile stimulation; and the Sundial Shell, which offers a firm stepping sensation. Together, the three distinct firmness levels provide progressive sensory stimulation to the soles of little feet, helping toddlers build walking stability and improve balance through varied path arrangements. Made from soft, flexible, non-slip, high-quality plastic, these shells are lightweight, easy to move, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They are also fully washable for hassle-free maintenance. True to the Weplay philosophy of "we play — we learn," these shells turn everyday movement into meaningful sensory and developmental experiences from as early as 12 months.

Educational Benefits:

  • Improves sensory perception through varied tactile designs, providing rich stimulation and a calming, safe experience for little feet
  • Supports gross motor development, balance, and walking stability through progressive sensory stimulation across three firmness levels
  • Builds body awareness and proprioception as toddlers navigate different shapes, heights, and tactile patterns underfoot
  • Develops early spatial awareness and coordination through creative path arrangements for stepping and movement play

Classroom & Play Activity Ideas:

  • Arrange the six shells in different path configurations to create stepping trails that challenge toddlers' balance and coordination
  • Encourage barefoot exploration to maximise tactile and proprioceptive input through the soles of little feet
  • Incorporate into gross motor movement sessions or sensory circuits as an engaging, low-level stepping challenge for young learners
  • Use in sensory regulation spaces to provide calming tactile input and gentle foot stimulation for babies and toddlers
