The Panel-Sided Ball Pit mimics the buoyant experience that a pool or water play area would, without the mess and potential water inhalation risk. Ball pits provide a safe environment not only for hours of entertainment and exercise for children, but also teaching opportunities for children to learn color differentiation.
Pediatric ball pits like this are also ideal for children to receive visual and tactile feedback, an essential part of therapy for children with sensory integration disorders such as autism spectrum disorder. Children with these disorders require sensory experiences that allow them to focus on individual modes of input at a time, so they can increase their tolerance for that particular sense without becoming overwhelmed.
The brightly-colored sensory balls and paneled ball pit are visually appealing and engage children to participate in holding, tossing, and swimming through the balls. The panels are made from durable foam that is forgiving enough to absorb impact while remaining structurally sound enough to retain its shape, and are lined with a reinforced vinyl covering that is both easy-to-clean and tear- and damage-resistant. The Panel-Sided Ball Pit is expandable to accommodate growing practices and breaks down to be portable so the pit can be moved as needed.
