Squishy Gel Cushions
Bring movement, tactile exploration, and sensory support to everyday activities with Squishy Gel Cushions from Fun and Function. Designed to let children wiggle, press, and move while seated, these versatile gel cushions offer an engaging way to incorporate sensory input into classroom routines, therapy activities, and home use. No inflation is required, making them convenient to use whenever a flexible seating or hands-on sensory option is needed.
Children can place a cushion on their lap and gently press or move the gel to explore its texture and movement. Manipulating the gel and its contents provides opportunities to practice hand and finger movements while engaging with a satisfying tactile activity. When used as a seat cushion, the flexible surface allows for gentle movement during circle time, desk work, reading, and other seated activities.
Choose from two fun designs, each offering a different sensory experience. Fishy features colorful balls and fish that children can see and push around within the gel. Bumpy contains hidden balls that provide additional tactile feedback when sitting on the cushion. Both designs offer opportunities for hands-on exploration and movement throughout the day.
Squishy Gel Cushions can be incorporated into sensory spaces, special education classrooms, occupational therapy activities, and everyday learning environments. They may be useful for children who benefit from additional movement or sensory input, including children with ADHD, autism, or sensory processing differences. The cushions are suitable for children ages 3 and up.
Whether used for seated activities, hand-strengthening exercises, or supervised balance activities, Squishy Gel Cushions provide a versatile addition to classroom sensory tools and flexible seating resources.
