My four-year-old twins, who are on the spectrum, had previously played with the original (smaller) disk at an indoor play center and also at their occupational therapist’s office, and loved it. Being that my twins are bigger now, I decided to purchase the new XL Wobble Disk for their sensory needs at home. They were super excited when the box arrived and had difficulty wanting to share so we used our timer to help take turns. However, I’m considering purchasing a second disk as sharing toys is a real challenge for my twins.
After exploring how well it rocks and wobbles and spins (I had to spin them as it’s impossible for them to spin while sitting in it,) they flipped it over and used it to jump on and off—the sensory input from jumping helps them regulate themselves. The disk is large and made of thick, durable plastic allowing my two four-year-olds to fit inside with their legs crossed, and also held their weight just fine while jumping on and off the dome side. We incorporated it into our obstacle course the first day and they have been using it for pretend play. It’s been a swimming pool and tire swing for their dolls and stuffed animals, a boat, and a ball pit (albeit a rather small ball pit!)
The only con I can say about the XL Wobble Disk is that it’s shaped a bit differently than the smaller original disk, and I actually prefer the more rounded shape of the original. It seemed deeper and easier to spin and rock/wobble. Oh, and my twins wondered why I didn’t buy a yellow wobble disk (their favorite color!) So other than wishing it came in yellow, my sensory seeking preschoolers are quite happy with this newest addition to our home sensory equipment. Also, I personally love that I’m supporting a Veteran-owned and American based company with my purchase!
