Description

The tickit® Sensory Steel Mystery Balls are six apparently identical reflective balls, each hiding different characteristics inside. Roll, spin, twist or shake them to discover which wobble, which make contrasting sounds and which behave in completely unexpected ways.

Two balls are silent, although one refuses to roll in a straight line, while the others produce different shaker and rattle sounds. Their mysterious movement encourages observation, prediction and experimentation, while the curved mirror surfaces create fascinating stretched and distorted reflections.

  • Six individual mystery balls: Each ball has different internal characteristics and behaves in its own way.
  • Unexpected movement: Some balls wobble, twist or change direction when rolled.
  • Contrasting sounds: Shaker and rattle sounds vary in pitch and volume, while two balls remain silent.
  • Reflective mirror surfaces: The curved finish produces wide-angle, stretched and distorted reflections.
  • Encourages investigation: Children can predict, compare and test how each ball will move or sound.
  • Smooth tactile finish: The rounded stainless-steel surfaces are inviting to hold, roll, spin and explore.
  • Supports developing skills: Handling and tracking the balls encourages motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
  • Strong but lightweight: Stainless-steel construction provides durability while remaining easy to handle.
  • Hygienic material: Stainless steel is non-porous, naturally bacteria resistant and easy to clean.

Learning & Development Benefits

  • Cause and effect: Different actions produce contrasting sounds and movements from each ball.
  • Observation: Users can watch closely to identify how the apparently identical balls behave differently.
  • Prediction: The mystery element encourages users to anticipate which ball will wobble, roll straight or make a sound.
  • Motor skills: Grasping, rolling, spinning and shaking support controlled hand and arm movements.
  • Visual tracking: Following the unpredictable rolling balls encourages attention and hand-eye coordination.
  • Language development: Contrasting sounds and movements introduce descriptive words such as loud, quiet, high, low, smooth, wobbly and straight.

Sensory Needs Supported

  • Visual: The curved mirror surfaces reflect light and create stretched, fish-eye-style images that change as the balls move.
  • Tactile: The smooth stainless-steel balls provide a firm, curved surface to hold, turn, roll and shake.
  • Auditory: Several balls intentionally create contrasting shaker and rattle sounds with different pitches and volumes, while two silent balls provide comparison.
