Skushi Balls

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Skushi Ball is a specially textured ball with unique features that allow it to be grabbed, squeezed, and hugged as well as thrown, bounced, and kicked. Made of nontoxic PVC material, Skushi inflates in seconds with straw provided. Individually packaged with straw and plug. Skushi has smooth tacky surface; assorted colors: red, purple, and green; inflates to 9". Not for "Biters."

US$5.99

All Skushi Balls are easy to roll and catch. They don't bounce off hands. Infants enjoy grasping and squeezing underinflated balls of different sizes. To add sound, teachers of the visually impaired carefully drop grains of uncooked rice into the ball before inflating and inserting the plug.


Pat Little, a physical therapist for 30 years, raves about Skushi and Gertie Balls: "I used them extensively in my therapy with people of all ages. They can be partially inflated which allows work on grip and dexterity, or they can be fully inflated for rolling, catching, reaching activities. Having children actually work to inflate them helps increase lung capacity and teaches breath control. The balls with bumps add a textural component for tactile input.

Children sit in and on, rock in, spin themselves around in, carry, wear, and peek through Bilibo. Making a line of multiple Bilibos , children walk, hop, and jump from one to another. Occupational therapists rave about the value of Bilibo and its benefits to children, particularly about the way children can experience gravity in different ways.

Customer testimonial

Hi Christina

I thought I would tell you how much one child I work with enjoys the Bilibo toy. He is 5 and totally blind. He spins quite fast around in it on a hard surface floor. He is able to catch himself with his arms what ever direction he tips over which is helping him with upper body development and balance skills.

He really likes to spin when standing and this is a habit we are trying to help him stop. He does admit it is much more fun to spin in the Bilibo than without it, so this is where he goes when he needs to spin. It does seem to lessen his need for the other kind of spinning, so this is good.

Also this is a good toy for turn taking with a peer or sib.

As well I find children with low vision like to watch contrasting colour balls roll around inside of it.

It also cradles small/multi involved children with low tone, very nicely encouraging them in bringing their hands to midline. When a large enough child is in there (and I am supporting the Bilibo not to roll about), rather than arms/hands flopping about at the sides, the arms end up more in the middle of the body, to hold a toy. Of course with experience many of these kids like a bit of gentle rocking to and fro as well.

I think this is one of the best toys ever!

Take care,
Holly
