Weight and compression provide calming inputs.
Great for kids that are nervous/anxious/overstimulated.
A great option if your child is struggling to focus, remain seated, slow their body during slower activities.
 
How to use:
Before use, talk about it with the child. “This is to set on your lap. It helps to slow your body.” 
Place on the child’s lap and allow the child to put it on/take it off on their own. Do NOT force use.
Often used during large group times, when seated at the table, rug times, relaxation spaces.
