An ideal set for schools. This set primarily includes lap animals.
The dog brings a cuddly factor and tactile stimulation to the set. He snuggles wonderfully against the body, giving the feeling of a hug.
Furry animals are perfect companions during harnessing sessions or as comforters, but also when playing with tunnels, swings or skateboards.
The turtles and the snail are pets and They provide more peace and quiet for concentrated work. The pockets provide a place for the hands to explore and knead the weighted animal body. Kneading the sand not only reduces stress levels, but also increases pressure on the muscles and promotes depth perception even more intensively. Optionally, you can also place marbles or large beans in the pockets for your fingers to explore, providing additional finger stimulation.
The snail weighs one kilogram more and is therefore suitable for children who need a lot of depth perception input and who quickly become restless and overwhelmed by stimuli.
Snail offers further stimulation aids :
- The FEELERS – finger-skin stimulation – especially for children who find greater relaxation and self-regulation by moving their fingers around, in, or through materials. Children can either let the feelers slide back and forth between their fingers or run their thumb and index finger along the tightly woven feelers. The strong texture causes the fingertips to tingle intensely, providing additional soothing stimulation.
- the embroidered SNAIL SPIRAL on the shell – tracing the spiral promotes coordination, fine motor skills, “reading” and feeling with the fingertips.
On our homepage under "Download" we have numerous practical and application examples.
By purchasing a weighted animal you support the elja ® Special Needs Pot.
