Expandable Mini Sphere - Breathing Ball- Original Hoberman™
The Original Hoberman™
Mini Sphere
Breathing balls (also called breathing spheres or Hoberman spheres) are fantastic tools in sensory zones, homes, schools and clinics because they turn abstract concepts like "deep breathing" into something visual, physical, and engaging.
The Expandable Mini Sphere - Breathing Ball- Original Hoberman™:
🌬️ 1. Makes Deep Breathing Visual and Tactile
-
As the ball expands and contracts, it gives a clear visual cue to match the rhythm of inhaling and exhaling.
-
This helps children (especially visual and kinesthetic learners) learn how to pace their breath in a calming way.
"Open the ball — breathe in. Close the ball — breathe out."
🧠 2. Regulates the Nervous System
-
Deep, slow breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the body shift out of “fight-or-flight” and into a calm, regulated state.
-
Using an Expandable Mini Sphere - Breathing Ball- Original Hoberman™helps anchor focus on the breath, which reduces anxiety, restlessness, or sensory overload.
👐 3. Encourages Movement and Engagement
-
The act of holding and expanding the Expandable Mini Sphere - Breathing Ball- Original Hoberman™ engages muscles and promotes mind-body awareness.
-
The gentle movement can be calming for sensory seekers and helps fidgety children engage with regulation strategies more willingly.
👥 4. Works in Group or Individual Settings
-
Ideal for group breathing exercises or as a solo calming tool.
-
Educators and therapists use them to model self-regulation strategies that children can later use independently.
