As a guide: 18in to 24in for infants and juniors as a floor and target prop, 30in for waist spinning at primary level, and 36in for older children and adults. Most schools carry a mix of sizes for different activities. What is an Essential Tub? A ready-made class kit — a storage tub filled with a full set of bean bags or foam balls. It solves storage and quantity in one purchase, which is why it is the most popular format for primary schools. Are soft touch balls safe indoors? Yes. Moulded foam and soft touch balls are designed to be used in a hall or classroom without risk of injury or damage, and are the standard introduction to catching and throwing at pre-school and infant level.
