Flat Hoops are a versatile and functional tool designed to enhance a variety of gross motor activities, including games, obstacle courses, and movement exercises. Constructed from moulded plastic, these hoops offer increased pliability compared to traditional hollow hoops, making them a durable and safe option for active play. Their flexible design allows them to be used in a range of configurations to promote balance, coordination, and spatial awareness.

Therapeutic Benefits:

• Balance and coordination: When used in obstacle courses or games, Flat Hoops provide opportunities for children to practice stepping through, jumping over, or balancing on them, promoting balance and coordination.
• Spatial awareness: Navigating through or around the hoops helps children develop a greater awareness of their body’s positioning in space.
• Motor planning: Moving through or manipulating the hoops encourages children to plan and sequence movements, enhancing cognitive and motor planning skills.
• Flexibility and strength: The use of hoops in activities that require stepping, jumping, or balancing helps strengthen lower body muscles and improve flexibility.

Features:

• Moulded plastic construction: Offers enhanced pliability and durability compared to traditional hollow hoops, making them suitable for a variety of uses in both structured play and free movement activities.
• Compatibility: Can be used in conjunction with other HART products such as the HART Super Dome Base, HART Super Connector, HART Square Base, and HART Multi-use Witches Hat, allowing for expanded creative play and obstacle course configurations.
• Two sizes available: Choose from 60cm or 70cm diameter hoops to suit different age groups, abilities, and activity types.

Note: These Flat Hoops are not recommended for traditional hula hooping but are ideal for dynamic movement activities, obstacle courses, and creative games that engage multiple gross motor skills.

Flat Hoops are an excellent addition to any therapeutic or recreational setting, providing endless opportunities for children to engage in active, skill-building play.
