Kids' Balance Ball

The Gaiam Stay N Play Balance Ball is now available in a Junior size (52cm) for ages 8-12 or anyone who may need a little extra height, in addition to the original best-selling Kids size (45cm) for children ages 5-8. Featuring five built-in soft stabilizing legs, this stability ball chair ensures it stays in place and won't roll away when not in use.

This balance ball chair serves as the perfect alternative classroom seating solution, encouraging kids to learn and practice healthy posture while teaching concentration, balance and calm - even in the face of too much silliness. The constant ball movements keep the body active and the mind engaged simultaneously, working to increase blood flow to the brain. This leads to better focus and concentration, helping to shake out the wiggles and reduce distractions and boredom in class.

The Stay N Play Balance Ball promotes healthy posture and mind by encouraging kids to learn, adopt and practice a healthy posture while building core strength from active sitting and play in the classroom and at home while studying or reading and during movie time or watching TV. The ball movements increase blood flow to the brain, helping to improve concentration and increase focus, reduce restlessness, and prevent boredom and distractions in class by keeping the body active and the mind engaged.

This alternative seating option for kids in Elementary grade school classrooms provides an outlet for excess energy and helps reduce fidgeting, as well as a fun and active way to get the "wiggles out" at home. It may be necessary to re-inflate the ball after initial inflation to allow the material to stretch to its final size. Inflate the ball with air, let it stand for 24 hours, deflate it 50%, then fill it again to 45 centimeter height.
