A peanut ball that rolls forward and back only
The Elizabeth Richards Therapy Peanut Ball, supplier code ERPB, is an 80cm long peanut shaped ball with 40cm diameter ends, a ridged grip surface and a maximum weight capacity of 150kg.
Elizabeth Richards describes the ball as a tool to support strength, balance and flexibility development in children. The peanut shape allows movement in one plane, such as forward and backward but not side to side, which the supplier says gives more control and stability than a round ball for movement-based activities or therapy sessions.
The supplier lists it as useful for children with balance difficulties, low muscle tone, developmental delays or sensory-seeking behaviours. It suggests gross motor work, balance training with vestibular input, seated exercises, core strengthening and rolling games, with the ridged surface adding grip and control.
Elizabeth Richards notes the size shifts during use, with the middle about 36cm across. Explore more physical education equipment, sensory toys, early learning and sensory resources and the Elizabeth Richards range.
