Louis the Ladybird Lap Weight

A weighted pillow is a great tool to calm children and encourage focus. Simply place it in their lap and allow the pressure and massage sensation to take over. For a extra sensory experience, children can stroke the fabric and feel for the beads inside, helping them to concentrate on the task at hand. An extra plain blue cover provides an alternative outer option.

**Please note: We do not recommend the use of weighted sensory toys for children under two years of age due to the risk of SIDS.

Consider the Weight: One of the key factors to consider when choosing a weighted toy is the appropriate weight for your child. The weight of the toy should be a percentage of your child’s body weight. As a general guideline, a weighted toy should be around 10% of their body weight. For example, if your child weighs 20 kilograms, a 2-kilogram weighted toy would be suitable.

It is important not to choose a toy that is too heavy, as it may cause discomfort or strain on their muscles. On the other hand, a toy that is too light may not provide the desired calming effect. Finding the right balance is essential.
