elja® sensory weight pillow
A heavy , quartz-sand-filled fabric cushion (=weighted cushion) to promote depth perception and concentration . Place, grasp, knead, feel, pull, push, and weave.
The weighted pillow helps you...
- to concentrate
- to relax
- to promote depth perception
- to calm down
- You can better engage with the outside world . The weight of the animal allows you to become more aware of yourself, which promotes external perception.
- to feel your body's boundaries . Being aware of yourself in space is an important basis for feeling comfortable .
- to sleep better
- to positively support child development
- to feel and experience
The sensory weighted pillow is ideal for placing on your lap, for example, while reading or doing homework. It's also relaxing to have the weighted pillow on your lap/back/stomach/chest while sitting on the couch. The body senses the weight and thus knows where it begins and ends, promoting body-spatial awareness. You feel yourself and can thus concentrate on other things.
The sewn-on "armor" is a pocket with two openings . It allows your hands to touch and relax. It's wonderful to knead the sand into the body of the weighted pillow. Not only does kneading the sand reduce stress levels, but it also increases the pressure on the muscles and promotes depth perception even more intensely.
You can also put a little something in the bag - for example a few small balls - this is exciting and encourages the fingers to explore.
The hand-crafted cords are extra long and tightly braided to provide plenty of structure for tactile stimulation.
The cords are very versatile:
- you can wander along, it will tingle in your fingers for a long time
- you can braid them
- you can twirl them around your fingers
- You can also pinch clothespins on it and train fine motor skills and finger muscles
- You can make the calculation easier by using clothespins on the cords, e.g. 1 clip on the first cord, 2 clips on the second cord and on the 3rd cord you can pinch the result with 3 clips
By purchasing a weighted cushion you support the elja ® Special Needs Pot.
