Are you looking for toys that combine movement with sensory input? In this category you will find sensorimotor products that challenge children to balance, move and feel.
Sensorimotor skills are about the interplay between sensory input and movement. Sensorimotor products challenge children to move while using their balance, coordination and sense of touch at the same time. By balancing on Balance Clouds or a Round Balance Board, jumping across Do Re Mi Stepping Stones or feeling their way along a Jungle Path, children develop their motor skills and body awareness. The Movement Dice Set brings playful exercise challenges, and a Massage Roller provides pleasant tactile input. These products are used by children at home, at school and in therapy, and help them practise balance, strength and sensory processing through play.
