Visual Coordination Play Tool


The Space Ball is a simple, engaging play tool designed to support visual tracking, coordination, and regulation through up-and-down movement-based play.

Featuring a round disc with an elastic ball attachment, Space Ball invites children to move, focus, and connect through playful, purposeful activity.

 

What Skills Does Space Ball Support?

 

Space Ball supports the development of key foundational skills, including:

  • Visual tracking and visual attention

  • Visual motor integration

  • Hand–eye coordination

  • Bilateral coordination

  • Body awareness and timing

  • Sensory regulation through movement

 

The repetitive, rhythmic movement of the elastic ball helps children organise their bodies while staying engaged and curious.

 

Why Therapists Love Space Ball

 

Space Ball may look simple, and that's intentional.

Its design allows children to:

  • Track movement visually

  • Anticipate and time their actions

  • Coordinate both sides of the body

  • Regulate through predictable movement

This makes it a powerful tool for supporting learning readiness through play.


How to Use Space Ball

 

Space Ball can be used in a variety of playful ways, such as:

  • Holding the disc and watching the ball move in and out

  • Tossing and catching the elastic ball

  • Encouraging visual tracking as the ball moves

  • Using both hands together to stabilise and control movement

There’s no “right” way to play — children are encouraged to explore at their own pace.
