Discovery Ball Activity Set

The Discovery Ball Activity Set is a core resource for developing tactile discrimination and memory. The set contains nine pairs of balls, each with a unique texture—ranging from smooth and ridged to nubby or soft—and vibrant colours. By hiding one of each pair inside the included black "feely bag," practitioners can challenge children to find the matching partner using only their sense of touch. This "blind" play forces children to focus on tactile details, building cognitive pathways related to material properties and physical characteristics. As children describe what they feel—using words like "bumpy," "squishy," or "fuzzy"—they significantly expand their descriptive vocabulary. The set is also excellent for gross motor games, such as rolling or tossing, helping to build coordination. Lightweight and portable, this activity set is easy to integrate into circle time or independent sensory play, providing a fun and engaging way to master sensory processing.
