SUPPORTING YOUR CHILD'S NEEDS WITH A FUN STUFFED ANIMAL
Does your child have a hard time staying calm at school or in the car? Are you always looking for toys that will effectively support your child's needs? The 5 lb weighted lap animal is the perfect companion for your sensory seeker!

The science supporting weighted objects like our sensory weighted stuffed animal is called deep touch pressure (the same benefit as a weighted blanket.). Deep touch pressure helps to decrease nervous system activity which encourages a feeling of calm and relaxation.The weight takes advantage of the calming effects of deep pressure therapy. The extremely soft fabric of the pound puppy stuffed animal gives a great soft sensory surface for them to explore while relaxing.If your child could use extra help in sitting calmly, then they will benefit from a weighted stuffed animal. Add the weighted dog to your sensory toolbox and give your child the sense of calm they deserve (and the sense of calm you deserve as well!).

A SENSE OF CALM FOR YOUR CHILD NATURALLY SUPPORTS YOUR CHILD’S SENSORY NEEDS
Harkla's weighted blankets for kids help naturally calm the body through deep touch pressure. The weight helps your child by regulating their nervous system encouraging calm (It’s like receiving a hug!). Our kids weighted blankets are great for situations that are often stressful for sensory seekers like the classroom or car rides.

DESIGNED FOR EVERYDAY LIFEDOTTED MINKY FABRIC. DUVET COVER.
The soft minky fabric design adds a sensory input to support your child's needs. The 2-piece duvet style removable cover makes it easy to remove the top layer to wash & dry at home.
The Harkla Weighted Blanket is designed to be 10% of your bodyweight +1-2lbs.

However, choosing the best weight is a matter of preference. Some are more comfortable with a blanket that is heavier or lighter than the recommended range. Our weighted blankets are designed to sit on top of the bed (unlike a traditional comforter that drapes over the mattress edges), so that the weight is less likely to slip off the side. The blanket should cover the proportions of the user's body, not the exact dimensions of a standard size mattress.

The average body weight of someone who uses a 5lb weighted blanket ranges 30-40lbs.
