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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves sensory perception through varied tactile designs, providing rich stimulation and a calming, safe experience for little feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports gross motor development, balance, and walking stability through progressive sensory stimulation across three firmness levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds body awareness and proprioception as toddlers navigate different shapes, heights, and tactile patterns underfoot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelops early spatial awareness and coordination through creative path arrangements for stepping and movement play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom \u0026amp; Play Activity Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrange the six shells in different path configurations to create stepping trails that challenge toddlers' balance and coordination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourage barefoot exploration to maximise tactile and proprioceptive input through the soles of little feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporate into gross motor movement sessions or sensory circuits as an engaging, low-level stepping challenge for young learners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse in sensory regulation spaces to provide calming tactile input and gentle foot stimulation for babies and toddlers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: 12+ months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity: Set of 6 (2 x Scallop Shell, 2 x Oval Shell, 2 x Sundial Shell)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours: Beige (Scallop), apricot (Oval), blue (Sundial)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: High-quality, soft, flexible, non-slip plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for indoor and outdoor use — washable for easy maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight and easy to move\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScallop Shell: 28(L) x 5.2(H) x 28.7(W) cm — gentle rebound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOval Shell: 28.6(L) x 4.6(H) x 24.9(W) cm — intense tactile stimulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSundial Shell: 25.1(L) x 3.8(H) x 25.1(W) cm — firm stepping sensation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdult supervision recommended during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68558942601329,"sku":"WY0017","price":227.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/wy0017_squishy-tactile-shell_v1_1.jpg?v=1794355033","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/weplay-squishy-tactile-shells","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
