Weighted Owl

Description

These Weighted Owls are a wonderful and cuddly way to assist with sensory regulation. They can be very helpful for children who are unable to sit still in their chair, are easily distracted, or unable to focus on the task they have been set.

• Educators should consider talking with all children about how and why sensory equipment is used at the service
