Description
Overview
The Soft Shape – Rocker is the balance piece in the Gym Leader soft-shape range. Where the step blocks are about climbing, the rocker is about weight shift: children sit, kneel or stand on it and feel it tip, building control and confidence. It measures 1200 × 400 × 450 mm (L × W × H), long enough to use lengthways or across.
Construction matches the rest of the range: foam filling, a PVC fabric cover in vibrant colours and hook and loop fasteners for easier use. It works on its own or as one station in a circuit with the Round Donut 2pce and the stepped blocks.
Key benefits
- Rocking motion challenges balance in a low, cushioned way.
- Long 1200 mm body gives room to sit, kneel or lie along it.
- Soft foam core and PVC fabric cover suit indoor play mats.
- Vibrant colours make it an inviting station in a circuit.
- Hook and loop fasteners help with positioning and easier use.
Who it's for
Choose the rocker for early childhood centres, junior gymnastics programmes and primary schools running fundamental movement sessions. Use it indoors on mats with an adult close by, since a rocking shape moves under a child.
Pair it with the Two Step 400mm for a climb-then-balance sequence, or browse the wider pvc shapes & markers category for mats and markers to complete the space.
Care, safety and set-up
This is a made-to-order shape, produced once your order is placed, and freight is quoted separately because of its length and bulk. Funding packages are available for schools and clubs equipping a play space. It is covered by the Sports Distributors 12-month guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Is the rocker a single piece?
Yes. Unlike the Round Donut 2pce, it does not split; it is one 1200 mm long curved shape.
What does the rocker offer that the step shapes do not?
The step blocks are for climbing up and down. The rocker tips as children shift their weight, so it targets balance and core control rather than climbing.
