Please Note: These products are sold with their intended purpose as described. We cannot be held responsible for any misuse of items where physical force has been used to damage the product or where it had been used in a manner that it was not designed for. If in doubt of its suitability, please get in touch.
The Spikey Clutch Balls are a set of three firm, textured sensory balls designed to provide strong tactile and pressure input through the hands. Each ball features raised spikes and built-in finger loops, making it easy to grip, squeeze and hold securely during sensory play or calming activities.
The firm textured surface provides direct touch feedback across the hands and fingers, while gripping and squeezing the ball gives resistance through the muscles and joints of the hands. This makes the set particularly suited to individuals who actively seek stronger sensory input rather than soft or gentle textures.
Compact and easy to use, the balls can be kept in sensory rooms, classrooms, therapy spaces or at home as part of a wider sensory toolkit.
Tactile: The firm raised spikes make direct contact with the hands and fingers, providing a pronounced textured sensation for users who enjoy stronger touch-based input. Explore our tactile sensory toys.
Proprioceptive: Gripping and squeezing the balls requires the hand and finger muscles to work against resistance, providing feedback through the muscles and joints. Explore our proprioceptive sensory products.
The Spikey Clutch Balls are suitable for children and adults who enjoy firm textures, gripping activities or stronger sensory feedback through their hands.
They may be particularly useful for individuals who actively seek tactile or proprioceptive input and prefer a more pronounced sensory experience than a soft sensory ball provides.
