 The tortoise 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 put marbles or large beans in the pocket so that the fingers can explore, which offers additional finger stimulation.
 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 – following the spiral promotes coordination, fine motor skills, “reading” or feeling with the fingertips
 The giant fish , often referred to as a shark by children, is the perfect weighted animal for all children who need a lot of body awareness input and those who enjoy testing their strength. The giant fish is the heaviest elja® weighted animal. It can be placed lengthwise or combined and used in the activity room with a swing, rope, or for "carpet pulling."
 Along with giant fish, the sheep is one of the heaviest animals in the world. It's approximately the size of an adult human torso and can be used in a variety of ways for relaxation: on the lap, back, stomach, chest, or legs. It nestles beautifully around the body even when lying on your side. The sheep's "fur" is made of 100% organic cotton and is wonderfully soft to the touch, inviting you to rub it.
 On our homepage under "Download" we have numerous practical and application examples.
 The weighted animals are all lovingly hand-sewn in Lower Austria, each bears a name and comes to your home with your personal message of power.
 They are your companions in kindergarten, at school, in therapy and at home.
 By purchasing a weighted animal you support the elja ® Special Needs Pot.
