An ideal set for schools. This set includes only lap animals.
The turtles and the snails are pets and They provide more peace and quiet for concentrated work. The pockets provide a place for hands to explore and knead the weighted animal body. Not only does kneading the sand reduce stress levels, but it also increases pressure on the muscles and promotes depth perception even more intensively.
Optionally, you can also put marbles or large beans in the pocket so that the fingers can explore, which offers additional finger stimulation.
The snail weighs one kilogram more and is therefore suitable for children who need more depth perception input, those who quickly become restless and overwhelmed by stimuli.
The 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.
