Roll Barrel Set

The Gymnastics Direct Roll Barrel Set is one of the most versatile pieces of soft play equipment available for daycare centres, preschools, kindergartens, early learning environments, physical therapy settings, and special education classrooms. Purpose-built for toddlers and children up to 3 years of age, the Roll Barrel Set is an essential tool for supporting gross motor skill development, balance, coordination, body awareness, core strength, and sensory exploration during the most critical years of early childhood development.

The set includes two foam cylinders that connect together to form one complete barrel, or can be separated into two individual pieces, giving educators maximum flexibility across different movement activities, group sizes, and ability levels. This versatility makes it an ideal addition to kindy gym programs, indoor soft play areas, movement corners, and obstacle courses in early learning centres.

Built from durable PVC and sponge foam, the Roll Barrel Set is soft and safe against little bodies while standing up to the daily demands of a busy childcare or early learning setting. The smooth PVC surface wipes down quickly and easily, helping your centre maintain the hygiene standards essential in any daycare or preschool environment.

Research consistently shows that active play is fundamental to a child's physical and cognitive growth and the Roll Barrel Set makes it simple for educators, carers, and therapists to incorporate structured, purposeful movement into daily routines. Whether children are rolling over the barrel with educator supervision, using it as a crawling and climbing challenge, or simply exploring how their body moves in space, every interaction with the Roll Barrel Set supports critical developmental milestones for toddlers.

Available in vibrant Blue, Red, and Purple, the Roll Barrel Set is visually stimulating and designed to capture the attention and imagination of curious toddlers.
