Description

5-pound weighted plush sloth that provides comforting deep pressure like a hug.

Why it helps

Weighted stuffed animals combine the comfort of a plush toy with therapeutic deep pressure, making them less clinical than weighted blankets.

Pros

  • Kids love the sloth design
  • 5lb therapeutic weight
  • Soft huggable fabric
  • Great for anxiety/meltdowns

Cons

  • Not machine washable
  • Heavier than expected for small kids

How to introduce this product

  • •Start with 10-minute sessions and gradually increase
  • •Let your child choose when to use the product — forced use can backfire
