Description
This Set of Catchtail Balls & Bean Bags provides a high-quality, durable solution for introducing movement-based learning to your EYFS or KS1 outdoor environment. The set supports early physical development, motor coordination and sensory exploration.
The collection includes soft, lightweight balls with flowing fabric tails designed to slow movement, giving young children increased time to track and catch the ball successfully. The bean bags with chiffon scarf end offer a contrasting weight and texture, encouraging children to adjust their grip, throw with intention and explore simple aiming activities. These outdoor resources help to build gross and fine motor skills while nurturing hand-eye coordination and prediction skills as they throw and catch the balls.
This resource can be used independently or for guided small-group activities such as throwing and catching sequences or practising simple aiming tasks. These experiences support children to practice turn-taking, maintain attention and develop social interactions. Pair the Set of Catchtail Balls and Bean Bags with the Set of Outdoor Sensory Balls and Set of Textured Coloured Bean Bags to offer additional sensory exploration while developing coordination and control.
Explore the full range of Active Maths resources to broaden physical and maths opportunities outdoors. The Outdoor Games Resource Collection 2-3yrs provides further opportunities for early movement, while the Outdoor Active Maths Games Resources Collection 3-7yrs offers EYFS and KS1 children an excellent range of outdoor maths games resources to create an enticing and engaging outdoor classroom environment.
