Weighted Calming Therapy Dog, 907 g
This adorable dog is both a fun playmate and a calming helper for children who struggle to sit still.
Great for hugs and play, and when it’s time to focus—whether on homework or mealtimes—it can sit in your child’s lap, providing a soothing, steady presence.
The weight of the dog gives your child a comforting sense of pressure, helping them feel calm and settled.
It also makes a wonderful, patient listener for children who struggle with speaking or reading aloud.
The therapy dog is also a great companion in care settings, including for seniors and people living with dementia.
Easy to clean—simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
Weight: 907 grams
Material: 100% polyester.
This therapy dog is best suited for younger children, around ages 2–6. Older children and adults may benefit from a weighted toy with a bit more heft.
As a general rule, weighted products should not exceed 10% of your child’s body weight unless otherwise advised based on a professional assessment of your child’s needs. For example, a 2 kg weighted pad should only be used once your child weighs more than 20 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
