Promotes Early Childhood DevelopmentResearch has shown that physical play can promote language development, coordination, and cognitive skills. These activities can have long lasting, positive benefits for your child. The GreEco Hopper Ball was developed with childhood development in mind. The handle is textured and easy to grip to improve stability, the bottom is rugged for increased stability and balance. Total Body StrengtheningWhile jumping, the child is actively engaging and strengthening core, abdominal, major leg, and major arm muscles. Many of these muscles are used by the child to sit upright against gravity, focus, learn, play, and interact with others. They are often targeted for strengthening by educators, physical and occupational therapists, and other health professionals, as research has shown that when children are strong in these areas, it becomes easier for them to sit and attend to a variety of physical and cognitive tasks. Proprioceptive InputThese exercises also provide the child with proprioceptive input, which can assist in increasing a child's body and spatial awareness. A child may be craving proprioceptive input if they have a tendency to crash into objects, overstuff their mouth with food, color or write with too much force, or have difficulty motor planning new tasks. Size option:18in/45cm Diameter for Ages 3-622in/55cm Diameter for Ages 6-925in/65cm Diameter for Ages 9-12Note:Ball is made of rubber which will become much contracted being packed tightly into the box. Thus, keep pumping to stretch the rubber is the key. If it is hard to reach suggested ball size during 1st inflation, users can leave the ball as it is for a day, and then pump again after the PVC material gets fully stretched.
