Textured Weighted Pad, 1.4 kg
Does your child have a hard time sitting still? Maybe they need some proprioceptive input!
A gentle but firm downward pressure helps your child's senses tell the brain where the body begins and ends, and it releases oxytocin, a hormone that brings calm and comfort.
Having this weighted pad on their lap can help your child feel calm while sitting, for example in the classroom at school. The pad has a soft, bubbly velour surface which is lovely to touch, rub, and fidget with for restless hands. Its weight of 1.4 kg gives children that elusive sense of calm that can be so hard to find.
Please note that weighted products should not exceed 10% of your child’s body weight, unless specifically advised based on a professional assessment of your child’s needs. For instance, that means a weighted pad of 1.4 kg is generally only suitable for children weighing over 14 kg.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with
