A fun and useful activity for kids who have issues with body awareness and motor planning. Can be used as a Proprioceptive Sensory activity for kids with sensory needs.

This item is great for posture and core activation. However, it is also great for Vestibular and Proprioceptive Sensory Processing. For those kids that have trouble sitting still, this can give them the stimulation they are looking for while they are still sitting in one place. It can help them stay seated long enough to play with toys or maybe even for meal or snack time.
