Sensory Balls: Discover Which Stimuli Suit You

Two small balls, and one slightly larger ball.
They have all found a place in my large collection of sensory tools.
The two small balls are 4.5 cm in diameter. This fits easily in a pencil case or bag with fidget toys. They don't make a sound. You can squeeze them slightly . The materials used are soft and slightly rough. The balls are lightweight . When you run them through your hands, they offer some resistance . The ball with the protruding points provides more feedback to the hands than the smoother ball.
I'm very happy with these two balls because, despite their similarities, they also provide different stimulation. I don't bounce with these balls because they go in all directions. That makes me uneasy.
The larger ball can't be pressed, but it's nice and firm and provides a strong tingling sensation. The colors are bright. This ball is definitely suitable for bouncing or throwing.
Its feedback is reliable. It also makes some noise on the wall/floor.
This ball is also nice to roll under your feet .
You can also use these three balls, for example, to explore what you can feel with your hands. From a little to a lot of stimulation. And what you find pleasant. That's why I also recommend these balls for therapy and sensory training.
Try out which stimuli you need at different times.
