Blue Egg 85 cm or 33"
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.

Play Tip!
Try letting your new walker straddle an egg and rock from side to side, shifting their weight from foot to foot. Pick the size that suits you child best, this size suits a child the size of an average 12 year old and up.

PLAY Tip
Interpreting Facial Emotions
Many children (especially those with autism-like conditions) have difficulty interpreting facial expressions and understanding why people feel certain emotions. Moody Bear Puzzle, Emotion Cards, Smart Alex software all offers an opportunity to recognize expressions and hopefully talk about why the person might be happy or frightened. Try using them with a mirror and perhaps Polaroids of familiar people showing the same emotions. Eventually see if your child can make (and understand) the expressions, then take their pictures!
