Sensory balls for adults and the elderly – calm, relaxation and presence.
The sensory balls from Find that hippo may have been developed for children – but they have proven to be of great value well into old age. Many adults use the balls for light relaxation, stress reduction and as a sensory break from a busy everyday life. They can give peace to the hands and immersion to the thoughts – and work both at the desk, during breaks and as a small tool in mindful practice.
In elderly care and nursing homes, the balls are also used as a safe and simple tool for sensory stimulation. The tactile knobs and soft shapes arouse curiosity and can provide both calm and recognition – especially in people with dementia or restless hands. The balls are easy to grip and comfortable to roll between hands or under feet – and can be a good way to create contact and presence through movement.
