Five hundred moments of pure tactile joy - that is what IGLU Ball Pit Balls deliver, whether they are landing in a home playroom in Toronto, a therapy room in Vancouver, or a preschool in Calgary. These ball pit balls are handcrafted in Europe and available across Canada and the US through The Sensory Supply, combining safety credentials that matter with the satisfying, sensory-rich play experience that makes a ball pit genuinely irresistible for children of all ages and abilities.

The IGLU Ball Pit Balls are 7cm in diameter - sized deliberately to fit small hands comfortably while eliminating choking risk - and they are soft enough to bounce against without discomfort, yet durable enough to resist abrasion, compression, and cracking through years of play. Each ball quickly regains its original shape after compression. Non-toxic materials, a hypoallergenic construction, and an odourless finish make them suitable for children with sensory sensitivities as well as for any family that wants peace of mind during play.

Skills Your Child Develops with IGLU Ball Pit Balls

• Tactile Skills - Handling, gripping, squishing, and feeling the smooth surface of each ball actively engages touch receptors, supporting sensory integration and improving the sense of touch through exploratory play
• Gross Motor Skills - Gripping, throwing, catching, and moving through a ball pit develops the large muscle groups involved in whole-body coordination, strength, and spatial awareness
• Hand-Eye Coordination - Tracking, reaching for, and catching balls in motion builds the connection between visual processing and physical response, a foundational skill for everyday activities
• Strengthened Muscle Coordination - Moving within and around a ball pit engages multiple muscle groups simultaneously, building functional coordination across the whole body

Why Ball Pit Play Supports Sensory Development

Tactile exploration is one of the most fundamental ways young children learn about the world around them. Gripping and releasing objects of varying resistance, feeling pressure change as balls compress and spring back, and sensing the movement of many objects at once - all of this feeds the nervous system with rich proprioceptive and tactile input. For children who seek extra sensory input as part of their sensory diet, a ball pit provides deep, satisfying stimulation. For curious, active children of all neurological profiles, it is simply a place where imaginative play, physical challenge, and joyful movement converge.

Occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and early childhood educators across North America use ball pit play precisely because it supports multiple developmental goals at once - tactile discrimination, vestibular awareness, gross motor development, and social play - without requiring any special instruction. The child just plays.
