Description from the creator

This is an instructional video on how to make a weighted lap toy. Weighted items are great for kids with autism, sensory processing disorder, ADHD, and anxiety - and other needs - because they satisfy the need for proprioceptive input (deep pressure). However, sensory tools like weighted blankets can be expensive. A cheaper and more portable option is to make a weighted stuffed animal or doll that a child can sit in their lap or carry around.

Great for (among other things):
Sensory Processing
ADHD
Autism Spectrum Disorders
Anxiety
Enjoy!
