What are Weighted Toys?

Weighted objects, toys in this case, are any items that have been made heavier by adding small weights (such as blankets, vests, and toys) (usually poly pellets, stainless steel pellets, or glass beads). These weights can be embroidered into the cloth or placed in specifically created pockets. Occupational therapists recommend weighted toys and weighted blankets in order to assist children of different ages with Sensory Processing Disorder, autism, ADHD, and other special needs. To guarantee the right weighted toys that will benefit your kid, it is best to check with an Occupational Therapist.

Weighted Animals Sensory Toy

Weighted toy animals have numerous health benefits, especially if you have a restless child, due to their capacity to provide deep pressure therapy (DPT). Kids love the feeling of arms wrapped around them. This gives them a sense of safety, promotes stability, and calming benefits help improve body awareness which helps improve focus and concentration.

The extra weight of the item provides cuddly sensations which cause a neurological response. This deep pressure input essentially helps to ease the body into "rest mode," decreasing the heart rate, relaxing stiff muscles, and inducing a variety of chemical processes in the body that bring about a sense of serenity and comfort for your young one. Weighted toys provide excellent sensory input for children who relax after a reassuring embrace or who are sensitive to other people's touch.

How Weighted Toys Can Help with Sensory Processing Disorder

Sensory processing disorder (SPD) is a condition in which your brain processes sensory information incorrectly (stimuli). Sensory information includes what you see, hear, smell, taste, or touch. SPD can affect all of your senses or just one. This makes it hard for children to focus, rest, and stay relaxed without the right sensory tools.

Children with SPD may respond excessively to sounds, fabrics, and food textures. Alternatively, they may underreact to sensory information. This makes individuals demand more extreme thrill-seeking stimuli. Jumping off tall objects or swinging too high on the playground are two examples of excessive stimuli. Also, children with SPD are not always one or the other. They may be both oversensitive and undersensitive.

It can be challenging to have SPD. Parents who have children with SPD may feel isolated. To minimise sensory overload, they may refrain from taking their child out in public. Parents may also feel compelled to justify their child's behaviour.

Work with an occupational therapist if your child has SPD. The therapist may be able to assist kids in learning new reactions to stimuli. This can lead to changes in how they respond to specific situations and could lead to a healthier lifestyle.

Just the Right One

Some weighted items are portable and can be carried with you wherever you go. Animal-weighted toys, for example, are usually the right size for children to tote about during class or on a short journey to the shop. Aside from the weight advantage, there is also the additional sensory input of the super soft fabric, as well as the fact that they do not appear 'clinical'... they are just typical appearing soft toys.

Weighted toys and weighted blankets are perfectly weighted to match the average child's weight. Our products come in different sizes. Kids can also choose the colour suitable to their liking.

Life with a sensory processing disorder, autism, ADHD, or other special needs may be hard for both the children and their parents. Dzsensory Store aims to help make it more manageable and fun with our toys and sensory play equipment offerings. Feel free to browse through our range of special needs toys including sensory fidget toys, wooden sensory toys, disability furniture, sensory indoor swings, sensory cushions and much more.
