Safe & fun for indoor use. Set includes: 1 dozen - 2.5" foam sponge balls in assorted colors (including Red, Blue, Green and Orange); a 16" foam bat with plastic handle; and an extra large 4" foam ball.
The colored sponge balls and foam bat also provide a play therapy technique to help children release, as well as express feelings. This technique is particularly useful for children with attention problems or for children experiencing anxiety. In this game, 3 DIFFERENT colored balls are matched to basic feelings. Balls are pitched, and when players miss a ball, they express the feeling associated with the color of the ball they missed. If players hit the ball, they choose to either express the associated feeling of the ball they hit - or move on to the next pitch.
Complete directions for this game can be found in the "Bat-A-Feeling Game" in the book "101 More Favorite Play Therapy Techniques". Additional therapy techniques using colored sponge balls can be found in numerous other sources.
