Im happy to report many people are buying weighted toys for their children and grandchildren for Christmas.
It really is the perfect present for a child with special needs, it fulfils their sensory requirements while being a special friend.
I went out and bought a heap of new puppies for our range, when i bought them home Toby saw them and wanted one, so it went of to Nana's to be modified, now he has a puppy called 'Cuty Booty' and he adores him.
Most children latch on to one toy at some point in their life, and as i have personally learned it doesn't matter how much you pay for a toy, how incredibly beautiful it may be, how soft, or just cute.
The Child will choose what he or she wishes to latch onto.
Fortunately we are finding our Weighted Toys seem to be favoured as 'the special toy' i keep getting feedback saying they have to take it everywhere with them, some have even bought a second one to keep at school or pre school. ( spares are a good idea!!)
Toby my son, now 7 has two now, the cow he got when we started making toys, and now he has the fluffy puppy too, you should see him crammed into bed with all his toys, its quiet silly but if i try and move them he has a fit!!
Like i always say, 'Whatever keeps him happy"
