Soft Foam Football 27.5cm

This soft foam football is made from high grade urethane foam, providing an ultra-soft and ultra-safe option for children to enjoy both indoor and outdoor play. The moulded foam design ensures the ball maintains its shape and performance over time, without the need for inflation. This makes it a durable and reliable choice for early learning centres, classrooms and school playgrounds. The soft construction reduces the risk of injury and makes the ball easier to catch, kick and pass, particularly for younger children still developing their fundamental movement skills. Supplied in a range of vibrant, randomly selected colours, these balls are visually engaging and help attract children to physical play.

Football activities support the development of essential gross motor skills including kicking, throwing and catching. Participating in team games helps children build coordination, balance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness, all while encouraging social interaction and teamwork. Beyond the physical benefits, playing football also helps children develop communication, cooperation and problem-solving skills as they work together to achieve common goals. Whether used for structured sports games or informal free play, this foam football is a versatile and inclusive resource that can be incorporated into a variety of learning and play settings.
