Bean Bag in a child's hands
A bean bag in blue, 7 x 9 x 2 cm. A bean bag does what a ball cannot: it lands where it is thrown and stays there, so a child aiming at a target gets an answer that does not roll away. It is also easy to hold, which makes it the first throwing work, and it can be balanced on a head, a shoulder or the back of a hand. The set comes in the three primary colours, and each colour is a separate item.
Gross Motor Skills
Develops hand-eye coordination and bilateral movement through tossing and catching activities.
Proprioceptive Awareness
Weighted design provides sensory feedback that helps children understand body position and movement in space.
Concentration
Focused movement activities with the bean bag build attention span and task persistence.
Social Skills
Enables cooperative games and turn-taking activities that foster peer interaction.
