Weighted Turtle - Pink & Purple

Our lovely lap turtle would love to come and keep you company!

Our beautiful Weighted Turtles are handmade and come in a variety of weights and sizes.

Weighted toys and blankets are used as part of occupational therapy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, stress, ADHD, anxiety, restless legs and other Sensory Disorders and can also be great for older patients in nursing homes too. The therapeutic use of weight and deep pressure to the muscles and joints allows the central nervous system to interpret and integrate proprioceptive and tactile input.

The main reasons for using weighted products are to calm, improve focus and attention, improve body awareness and to decrease sensory seeking behaviours. They have been invaluable in the treatment of children who do not properly process sensory stimuli.

Spot clean with a damp cloth where necessary. DO NOT put in the dryer or the microwave. Please ensure you regularly inspect for any damage to the animal. Do not carry animal by tail, head or legs. Please consult with your therapist before starting any type of weighted therapy. Not suitable for children under three years old. Keep out of their reach. Please note, body colours vary.
