We recently posted our top occupational therapy toys from Amazon, but we didn’t want all of you PTs out there to feel left out! Today’s focus is on finding the best physical therapy toys and tools on Amazon!
We know that you already have all of the basics: cones, rings, balls, and stepping stones. So with this list, we set out to find some new things to add to your therapy bag!
While finding unique physical therapy toys isn’t quite as easy as finding toys for OTs, we think we have a few tools on this list that you may not have thought of!

Folding Step Stool
I can never, ever, seem to find a sturdy surface that is higher than an 8” staircase step to test a child’s ability to jump down. This step stool is 11” high and has an anti-slip surface. And it folds to flat for easy carrying!
