Why Our Poly Hand and Foot Prints are Right for Your P.E. Program
Physical education teachers and early childhood educators know that visual instruction is often the most effective way to teach complex motor skills. Telling a child exactly where to place their hands and feet for a bear crawl, a cartwheel, or a push-up station can be difficult, but showing them with vibrant, anatomically shaped floor markers makes the instruction instantly clear. However, using tape leaves a sticky residue on your gym floor, and using cut-out paper creates a dangerous slipping hazard. Our 2026 collection of poly hand and foot prints is manufactured from dense, non-slip polyvinyl. These markers "hug" the ground safely, resist tearing, won't slide under fast-moving feet, and provide the ultimate visual guidance for circuit training, tumbling, and imaginative play.
Top-Tier Poly Floor Markers for Every Activity
We stock a variety of specialized movement and organization shapes to ensure your curriculum is both fun and easy to manage for all age groups.
- Walk-On Poly Feet: Guide your students through complex obstacle courses, balance beam approaches, or standing stations. Available in both Large and Small sizes, these non-slip foot prints are perfect for teaching proper stance, footwork agility, and directional paths without confusion.
- Poly Hands: Ideal for gymnastics, tumbling, and upper-body strength circuits. Place these markers on the floor to teach students exactly where to place their hands before executing a forward roll, holding a plank, or starting a relay race. They are also available in Large and Small sizes to accommodate different age groups perfectly.
- Institutional Safety and Durability: Every poly marker we sell is crafted from a flexible, tear-resistant vinyl blend. They are designed to sit perfectly flat on the ground without curling at the edges, drastically reducing tripping hazards while remaining completely non-marking on expensive hardwood basketball courts or tile floors.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What material are the hand and foot prints made of?
These floor markers are manufactured from a high-density, flexible polyvinyl (poly) material. This specific rubber-like blend is incredibly durable, tear-resistant, and naturally non-slip, making it the safest option for heavy-traffic gymnasium floor markers.
2. What sizes are available?
To accommodate students of all ages, both our Poly Hands and Walk-On Poly Feet are available in "Small" (best for early childhood, preschool, and lower elementary) and "Large" (best for upper elementary, middle school, and adaptive physical education programs).
3. Will these markers slide on a finished hardwood gym floor?
No. When placed on a clean, smooth surface like a hardwood basketball court or tile, the poly material "hugs" the floor. While they can be picked up easily by a teacher to rearrange a circuit, they will not slide out from under a student's foot or hand during a drill.
4. Are these markers safe for the gym floor finish?
Absolutely. Our poly hand and foot prints are completely non-marking. They will not scuff, scratch, or leave colored residue on your expensive gymnasium floors or synthetic turf.
5. How should I clean and store my poly shapes?
Because the poly material is completely non-porous, these sets are exceptionally easy to clean. You can simply wipe them down with a mild soap solution or a standard athletic disinfectant wipe between classes. To prevent the edges from curling over time, always store them perfectly flat on a shelf or in a flat-bottomed storage bin.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for bulk P.E. supplies?
Yes. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and physical education departments can easily submit a formal PO to purchase bulk sets of poly hands, feet, and other circuit markers for their entire school district.
