My Project

Children use balls in a wide variety of games that encourage both physical activity and skill development. From knocking down pins in bowling-style games to aiming for targets in tossing or rolling activities, balls provide a fun and engaging way for kids to practice coordination, balance, and focus.

Whether they’re rolling a ball to a partner, bouncing it into a basket, or maneuvering it through an obstacle course, these types of games help children build motor skills while fostering teamwork and creativity.

The versatility of balls makes them ideal for countless playful scenarios, indoors or out. These types of balls - gator - no sting balls - are great for students to throw and not get hurt if they might get hit by them. We're always needing more balls as they get older and a little less bouncy. These additional balls will add more games and more fun for our students.
