Bouncy Bands® for Desks
Promoted Skills
Product Description
Kids are more productive and spend more time on task when they can move! Bouncy Bands are a heavy-duty solid rubber bungee-like cord that attach to the legs of a chair or desk to allow kids to discretely exercise their legs while sitting. Kids with short legs can enjoy being able to rest their feet on the Bouncy Band instead of having them dangle all day. Bouncy Bands are quiet and don't distract others, so they are a great tool for the classroom setting!
Physical
Skills
- Bouncy Bands® encourage gross motor development like foot placement and flexibility in ankles and legs.
- Bouncy Bands® can help strengthen the lower body and stimulate core muscles.
- Physical health like circulation and blood pressure can improve when fidgeting with Bouncy Bands®.

Sensory
Skills
- Proprioceptive input is increased as kids can feel the pressure on their ankles and knees as they bounce.

- Bouncy Bands® can provide sensory stimulation for sensory seekers
Social/Emotional
Skills
