A Therapeutic Way to Play

Ball pits are a great source of fun for the majority of children, but for those with autism and other sensory processing disorders they can provide an incredibly therapeutic form of play. The combination of visual and tactile stimulation is perfect for people with sensory hyposensitivity.

Provides Proprioceptive Input

Proprioceptive input is sensory input we experience in our joints and muscles that tells us about where our movements and body positions. Jumping into the ball pit helps give children a strong, powerful sense of proprioception which can be extremely relaxing and enjoyable for people with sensory processing disorders.

Combine with Other Sensory Toys

You can use other sensory toys by putting them into the ball pit and creating a treasure hunt. You could also use magic markers to write letters on the different balls, letting children spell words by finding particular balls. Your imagination is the limit with this extremely versatile piece of sensory equipment.

Encourage Socialisation and Language Development

Due to the size of the ball pool it's great for encouraging cooperative play and socialisation. The interactive, spacious and engaging nature of the ball pool is a great way to introduce children to each other in an environment that they both find relaxing and enjoyable.

Improve Motor Planning Skills

Ball pits have been shown to contribute to the development of both gross and fine motor skills in children. They specifically improve balance, hand-eye coordination, throwing and catching skills.

Play in a Way That's Safe

Children on the autistic spectrum very often have little sense of danger and like to take risks in an effort to produce sensory stimulation. It's therefore important to ensure that soft play settings are safe and secure in order to prevent potential injuries, which is why the Soft Play Sensory Ball Pool has generous foam padding on each of the walls and the floor, helping to prevent injury.

Easy to Wipe Clean

The nylon-reinforced vinyl material that the ball pit is covered in has been designed to be easy to clean. It can simply be wiped down between uses with your choice of anti-bacterial product in order to maintain a high standard of hygiene.
