Sports Directory Emotion Balls 20cm (Set of 6) - Neutral

These balls are ideal for young children, typically from preschool age through elementary school. They are also highly beneficial for children in special educational needs settings who may require more concrete tools for emotional expression.

The balls are made from a soft vinyl build, designed for tactile play. While durable for typical use, they can be susceptible to punctures from sharp objects.

While they can be used outdoors, it is recommended to do so on clean, smooth surfaces to avoid dirt and potential damage. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may also affect the material.

You can clean the emotion balls by wiping them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are air-dried completely afterward and avoid abrasive cleaners.

The set includes a variety of common emotions represented by expressive faces. The specific emotions are designed to cover a range of feelings children often experience.

The faces are printed onto the soft vinyl surface of the balls.

The primary benefit is supporting emotional development by providing a tangible and visual way for children to identify, label, and communicate their feelings, encouraging open conversations.

Inspect the ball for any punctures. If a small puncture is found, it may not be repairable due to the soft vinyl material. Store away from sharp objects to prevent future damage.

Clean the balls gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions. Avoid harsh cleaning agents which can damage the printed faces.

Try modeling the use of the balls yourself. Ask open-ended questions related to the emotions shown on the balls and relate them to everyday situations.
