The vibrating toss toy can be used to hit balloons in the same way that the child below is using a cushion. Standing on a cushion adds a balance challenge to the game!
Using a large pillow filled with sensory items as my hippotherapy is shown doing below, makes tossing and catching a lot easier to control than using a ball. Its large, easy to grasp and won’t roll away…. Try varying the sensory contents to vary the weight, size, texture, sound, vibration and other sensory qualities. Here are a few suggestions:
- small balls
- small, light vibrating toys
- packing peanuts
- bubble wrap
- socks filled sand
- balloons or blown up gloves
- plastic pill bottles with pennies inside
- crumpled newspaper
- plastic grocery bags
- plastic eggs
