Eleanor The Weighted Elephant
Eleanor the Weighed Elephant will be your child's next loveable companion!
Sensory Weighted Animals are a perfect addition to a child's "toolbox" of tools to support regulation. Weighted products provide proprioceptive input to the body; similar to the feeling of a hug. Proprioception is our bodies awareness of position and movement. Muscles and joints detect proprioceptive input when we push, pull, bend and stretch. Proprioceptive input has a calming and organising impact on the central nervous system and is therefore important in supporting regulation, focus and attention.
Eleanor the weighted elephant is soft, loveable, portable and easily washable. Because of her cute appearance, she allows children to receive proprioceptive input without feeling different.
It is recommended weighted animals be approximately 10% of a child's weight.
Specifications: 1.8 kg's, 18 x 22 x 31 cm

Please note that while Eleanor The Weighted Elephant is soft and cuddly, she is also a special toy that requires gentle care. To ensure her longevity and safety, we recommend that children handle Eleanor with care and that he is not subjected to rough play or washing. While we strive to create toys that are both durable and lovable, we cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur due to improper use.
