Sensory Balls: Discover Which Stimuli Suit You

Two small balls and one slightly larger ball.

They all have a place in my large collection of sensory tools.

The two small balls are 4.5 cm in diameter. That fits easily in a pencil case or bag with fidget toys. They do not make a sound. You can press them a little. The materials used are soft and a little rough. The balls are lightweight. When you let them go through your hands, they give some resistance. The ball with the protruding points gives more information to the hands than the smoother ball.

I am very pleased with these two balls because despite many similarities they also give different stimuli. I do not bounce with these balls because they go in all directions. That makes me restless.

The larger ball cannot be pressed but is nice and firm and gives strong stimuli. The colours are bright. This ball is certainly suitable for bouncing or throwing.

It is reliable in its feedback. It also makes some noise on the wall/floor.

This ball is also nice to roll under your feet.

You can also use these three balls to discover what you can feel with your hands. From few to many stimuli. And what you like. That is why I also recommend these balls for therapy and training on sensory perception. Try out which stimuli you need at different times.
