SpaceKraft Sensory Peanut Ball

The unique shape of the SpaceKraft Sensory Peanut Ball is a large rubber peanut-shaped ball covered with tactile sensory nubbins that allows a children with ADHD to concentrate on activities that might otherwise be somewhat difficult on a traditional seating ball. It also has the physical benefits of strengthening core muscles and improving balance.

What Are the Benefits of Sensory Seating?

Sitting on a balance chair requires you to engage your core muscles in order to stay balanced, increasing your abdominal strength and improving posture. As well as the numerous physical benefits, there are also mental benefits such as increased focus, improved memory and better emotional self-regulation. 

How Do Balance Chairs Help with ADHD?

Balance chairs help people with ADHD retain focus by providing a consistent level of proprioceptive sensory feedback. Proprioceptive input gives you an awareness of your own body by detecting the sensation of force or pressure, which has been shown to help people with ADHD or sensory processing disorders to increase their focus and attention span. 

Can be Used for a Variety of Activities

Whilst you can use this product as a seat to improve balance and focus, it has many more applications. Children who experience sensory hyposensitivity may find it enjoyable to roll, rock, balance, bounce and much more. The range of sensory activities possible with this seat make it an extremely versatile addition to any sensory room. 

Rolling on the balance seat can be great fun!

Helps to Strengthen Bilateral Coordination

Some more advanced sensory skills can go undeveloped in children who have issues with sensory awareness, and one of the most common of these skills is bilateral coordination. If balance and bilateral coordination continue to be underdeveloped they can have an effect on learning, motor skills, enjoyment of sport and more. By teaching kids to use both sides of their body in harmony, the balance chair helps to improve coordination. 

Great for Kids with Vestibular Sensitivity

For children who are hypersensitive to the feeling of movement, taking their feet of the floor when seated can be a disorienting and unpleasant experience. Using the SpaceKraft Sensory Balance Chair can improve physical confidence over time and lead to a decrease in the effects of proprioceptive hypersensitivity. 

What Age Range Is the Balance Seat Suitable For?

This seat is suitable for children aged 3 and above.
