The dog brings a cuddly factor and tactile stimulation to the set. It snuggles wonderfully against the body, giving the feeling of a hug.
Furry animals are perfect companions during relaxation sessions or as comforters, but also in play with tunnels, swings or rolling boards.
The snail is an ideal lap pet and It brings more calm to focused work. The pockets provide a place for hands to explore and knead the weighted animal's body. Not only does kneading the sand reduce stress levels, but it also increases pressure on the muscles and further enhances proprioception. Optionally, you can add marbles or large beans to the pocket so your fingers can explore, providing additional finger stimulation.
The snail is for children who need a lot of deep sensory input, who are easily restless and overwhelmed by stimuli.
Schnecke offers further stimulating aids :
- The Sensors – Finger-Skin Stimulation – are especially for children who find greater relaxation and self-regulation through finger movement around, in, or through materials. Children can either glide the sensors back and forth between their fingers or stroke the tightly braided sensors with their thumb and forefinger. The textured surface causes an intense tingling sensation on the fingertips, providing further calming stimulation.
- The embroidered snail spiral on the shell – tracing the spiral promotes coordination, fine motor skills, “reading” or feeling with the fingertip.
