NEXPROBalance Pods Balancing Hedgehog, Set of 6

I use this with my 3-4 yr old preschoolers. They loved it. It kept them busy, waiting for turns, and helping with their balance and coordination. What I love is the price. I bought 2 sets which cost less than if I bought the children's balance games or go to Lakeshore for balance toys. Awesome price and helped my day a lot because it is hard to keep 10 preschoolers together and focused during transition time.

I have really bad plantar faciitis on my left foot. Sometimes when it's really flaring up, I would stand barefoot and apply pressure to one spot on the side that really hurt - it's one of those things that kills while you're doing it, but once you get through it, it feels so much better. So I thought that these might be a good thing to keep under my desk to use any time I start to feel the pain - to use as massaging pressure points. It seems that every pod is inflated to a different fullness, which actually helps for me because each one is a different firmness. If I'm just doing some gentle massage, I use the one that's under-inflated because it's softer. If I really need to pound the heck out of my heel, I use the one that is most firm. I won't say that's it's a miracle cure or anything, but it does help. I gave one to my Dad because he was experiencing foot pain, and he is enjoying using it to massage his foot, too.

Great price! It was suggested by my canine physical therapist for me to purchase paw pods for my dog, these were way cheaper and are the same thing, plus you get 6 instead of 4!

My 3-year-old has been in the habit of standing on and jumping over his toys and toy baskets. So we bought him these to help discourage standing on and in things he shouldn't. He LOVES these. He loves when I sit down on the floor and arrange them in different configurations for him to jump on and across. And bonus, he's stopped standing on things he shouldn't be on, so my plan worked!

Both my dog and I love these pods! As other reviewers said, my husband said the bumps on the pods hurt his feet... They don't hurt mine at all though.
