Caregivers
 
When to use: 
A great way to strengthen trunk/core and head/neck muscles. 
A great way to promote ability to be in different positions (tummy, back, sidelying and seated if 7+ months).
 
How to use: 
It is recommended that you provide support and education from a therapist prior to using with your child. Peanut balls are often used for therapeutic purposes. 
Requires FULL support and FULL attention for safety. Never leave a child unattended while using the peanut ball. 
With your full support, put your child on their tummy rolling the ball forward and backward (only far enough that the child does not lose their position on the ball). 
Stabilizing the ball between your knees, you can also try putting your child on their back. If 7+ months, and with full support you can also try placing on their side or seated. 
 
**Please note, this is not recommended for classroom use as it is difficult for a teacher to provide full attention to 1 child with multiple children in the room **
