Meet our new Hug Ball™ — This adorable weighted plush friend in the form of a classic ball sneaks in several Sensory and Social-Emotional Learning while you play!
The Hug Ball’s Unique Features and Benefits:
-
3 pounds of comforting Deep Touch Pressure helps reset the nervous system, relieve stress, and promote a sense of calm and grounding.
-
Two adorable faces on each Hug Ball provide emotional support and can help kids (or anyone!) express what they’re feeling or needing.
-
A different soft, textured plush on each Hug Ball provides a fun, tactile sensory experience, and is comforting to touch. Some say each one feels like the fur of a different breed of puppy!
-
Expert-backed: The Hug Ball was created with input from pediatric occupational therapists, and is being lauded by OTs as a helpful regulation tool that kids also happen to adore. Enjoy the soft & snuggly weighted ball that helps you FACE the day!
Age 2+
How to use: Hold or hug your Hug Ball and feel it hugging you back with its gentle Deep Touch Pressure. Connect with each face and use the faces to express emotions and needs. Enjoy the feeling of each Hug Ball’s soft, sensory textured plush as you play. (P.S. Feel free to trim the shaggy plush with small scissors if you'd like the faces to be more prominent. We hand-trim each Hug Ball, but you may have a different shagginess preference!)
Care: Spot clean with a damp cloth or sponge, and a little mild detergent if necessary. Allow to dry before using.
Dimensions: The Hug Ball is approximately 9” in diameter and weighs 3 pounds
