Orange Egg 55 cm or 20"
Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Rolls in one direction & rocks gently in the other.
New Egg shaped vinyl physiotherapy ball from Pezzi! Includes ribbing and no-slip texture, rated to 400 Kilos (or more than 800 pounds!) Some children are frightened by the free motion of a round ball, so the more stable Egg is for them. A good choice for parents starting to work with physioballs. You can help kids with high muscle tone relax by lying them tummy down lengthwise on the Egg and rocking them. Latex-free.

Helping Fidgety Kids Sit Still at Circletime
Many children with sensory integration issues have trouble sitting still, in a circle, or in a class. For these kids, a sensory stratagy can help.
,Try letting the child hold "fidget toys" during circle or class. Try a Skwish, a few Wikki Stix, or Strength Putty. All of these toys feature sophisticated designs which do not look out of place in the hands of a school-age child. Save these toys for circle or quiet class time only.
