Montessori Football
Young children are intensely drawn to ball-shaped objects. The child can easily manipulate a ball, which helps to stimulate their development of movement, their will and increase their independence.
This ball (pictured left) has a diameter of 14 cm and is suitable for 3 – 6 age levels. The surface is slightly rough, for the purpose of providing traction and control to the child who will use it to throw, catch and kick.
Ball pump
Before the 3 – 6 child can play with the ball, it needs to be inflated, as it will need to be deflated after playing with it.
This is a preliminary exercise which fulfills several aspects of practical life and sensorial development. It further stimulates/ cultivates a sense of responsibility for the material.

Hula Hoop
Order is an essential factor in preparing an environment for sports. The bamboo hoop will allow you to create this order and mark different areas where sports activities can be executed by young children. Individually, the hoop can be used for jumping and balancing. Combined with the Montessori Football the hoop can be used as a target for throwing. More hoops will allow you to create movement patterns within the skill of jumping, running and balancing.
The hula hoop's are available in different colours and sizes.
Sports Block
In order to direct the movements of the young child this bamboo block can be provided as a control of error. Individually, the block can be used for balancing activities or marking a spot. Combined with the Montessori Football the block can function as a target for kicking. By using more blocks at the same time, different steps of progression are optional for the child to challenge himself more.
There are 3 different sizes available.
Bean Bag
The texture of the Bean Bag guides sensorial exploration and functions as a point of interest. Furthermore, a Bean Bag is easy to manipulate and can be used as a preparation for throwing. It can be used for throwing and balancing. The Bean Bags are available in the primary colours; red, yellow and blue. They can be used for visual discrimination and perfectly fit in the 3-6 curriculum.
Measures: 7 x 9 x 2 cm. Available in 3 different colours.
