Sensory Snake – a sensory calming toy

Sensory Snake is a calming, weighted sensory toy designed to help children with special needs.

How this toy will help your child to self-regulate when overwhelmed
The Sensory Snake is designed to support your child when overwhelmed or anxious. This often shows as hyperactivity and meltdowns. The weight of the snake applies deep pressure stimulation and will help your child calm down, be comforted and regain focus.

The snake stimulates and calms the senses
Your child can wrap themselves and snuggle into the weight. He is made from super stretchy organic cotton and filled with organic buckwheat hulls which gives the child a special sensory stimulation when squeezing him.

Multipurpose: For comfort and for play
This tactile toy is great for anxious and over-stimulated minds, providing moments of calm and focus to process thoughts and feelings.  Your child can cuddle into a comforting hug or use the snake to play with, wrestle with, walk or balance on. This truly is a versatile viper.

A great alternative to a weighted blanket
The snake is so long that your child can use him as an alternative to a weighted blanket - and still snuggle with him.Wrapped around for a happy hug, the Sensory Snake provides proprioceptive input to the brain to reduce stress and hyperactivity, similar to a weighted blanket.

Supports a better sleep
The weight and the hugging feeling of the Snake will make your child feel comforted and safe.

Toddler: Allow and help your toddler to walk on the snake to train their balance role, roll over the snake and nestle into it, this will help your toddle develop their motor skills and get better self-awareness.

Child: The Sensory Snake can help your child to balance their sensory development and unwind by wrapping his weight around your child or by placing part of the snake on your child to benefit from the calming weight. The weight simulates a calming hug and helps balance their stress hormone Cortisol, which allows your child to feel relaxed and comforted.

How deep pressure therapy can help your child 

The Weighted Toy Snake applies deep pressure stimulation and help increase calmness and decrease the feelings of anxiety.

Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) is firm but gentle squeezing, hugs, or holding that relaxes the nervous system. This pressure can be applied with the hands, special massage tools, or products that your child can wear or wrap around themselves to provide pressure.

This therapy can trigger a chain reaction in the body that releases an overall sense of calm and peace.
