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.

Concepts: Things that Go Together
Matching things that go together is a challenging cognitive skill for children with developmental delays to learn. It involves making a leap from, "this ball is the same as this ball", to "the ball and the bat go together". Things That Go Together uses clearly illustrated two piece puzzles to help children master this important developmental concept. The difficulty level can be adjusted by presenting either more or less options. For example: Does the fish go with the fishing rod or the tree? You can keep adding more choices to make the difficulty level match your child's level of learning.
