Weplay Olive Massage Balls are a versatile tactile resource designed to support children’s finger dexterity, hand strength, and emotional regulation through sensory play. This set of 12 soft, oval-shaped PVC massage balls offers multiple ways to engage fine motor muscles, from squeezing and pinching to gripping and tossing. Each ball measures 5 cm in diameter and 11.5 cm in length — an ideal size for children’s hands. The textured surface provides gentle tactile input, making them excellent for sensory-seeking learners or those developing body awareness. Designed with functional grip styles in mind, children can practise the Five Finger Grip to build full-hand strength, the Three Finger Grip for improved control and coordination, and the Two Finger Grip to refine pinching and releasing. These exercises support handwriting readiness, object manipulation, and core fine motor development. The small, lightweight design also makes them ideal for massage-based sensory regulation, both in classrooms and therapy environments. Whether used individually, in pairs, or during group activities, Olive Massage Balls help enhance focus, reduce anxiety, and develop gross and fine motor skills. Suitable for children aged 3 years and over.
