In a world where we seek comfort and calmness, introducing Weighted Animals – your new best cuddle buddy! These adorable creatures are more than just soft toys; they’re designed to provide extra sensory therapy feedback, making them the ultimate companions for those seeking that extra snuggle or anyone who simply adores a cosy, soft friend.
A lovable animal filled with Poly Pellets or a mix of Poly/Stainless Steel pellets averaging 1.5kg-2kg in weight. But what makes them truly special is the removable and secure double stitched/double layered weighted insert that can easily go into the washing machine. That means you get the benefit of the perfect weight and the luxury of keeping your cuddly friend clean and fresh!
Weighted Animals aren’t just for show; they’re recommended by Occupational Therapists as part of a sensory diet. They’re like superheroes, aiding in sensory regulation, helping kids focus on tasks, unwind for relaxation, or prepare for a peaceful sleep. And guess what? They don’t look ‘clinical’ at all – they’re regular, cuddly soft toys, blending in seamlessly with any setting, whether it be at home, work or school.
They’re popular among those with ASD, ADHD, and anxiety, providing a sense of calm and reassurance.
Here’s why Weighted Animals steal the show:
- Self-Regulation: They assist in self-regulation, helping kids stay calm and composed.
- Portability: They’re portable, offering comfort and reassurance on the go – perfect for adventures or tricky moments.
- Soft Sensory Input: The soft fur offers tactile sensory input, creating a cosy and soothing experience.
So, whether it’s for a calming cuddle, aiding in focus, or simply enjoying the tactile sensation of their lusciously soft fur, Weighted Animals are the unsung heroes of sensory therapy. They’re not just companions; they’re allies in promoting calmness and comfort wherever you go.
