Shapes
This section includes shapes made from soft foam with PVC covers, usually in bright primary colours.
Play shapes can be used individually for positioning, or combined as part of a soft play environment or multi sensory area. They are useful for developing creative and imaginative play as well as gross motor skills (the ability to control the large muscles of the body).
Individual shapes may include geometric shapes such as cubes or cylinders, or characters such as animals and vehicles.
Shape sets are available in a variety of shapes such as cubes, pyramids, rolls and arches. Others are themed sets which comprise a number of individual shapes that fit together to make a larger structure such as a castle or a boat. Some of these sets have integral ball pools and some may have a mobile case for storage and transportation.
Rockers enable children to rock whilst sitting in a supported position. Two children are usually required to maintain the rocking movement. They can be useful for children whose legs push tightly together and for developing sitting balance, posture and head control.
