Product description
Sam the Sloth is a 4.5-pound weighted plush designed to provide soothing comfort, sensory support, and a sense of security for children. With its soft, cuddly fabric and gentle weight distribution, Iggy offers calming deep-pressure input that can help children relax during quiet time, reading, travel, or bedtime routines. The lovable bunny design encourages nurturing interactions and imaginative play, making it both a comforting companion and a cherished friend. Educationally and developmentally, weighted sensory plush toys can support emotional regulation, focus, body awareness, and self-soothing skills while encouraging empathy, imaginative storytelling, and healthy calming habits that help children feel confident and secure. (PLEASE NOTE: Weighted toys should only be used under adult supervision. Recommended for children ages 6 and up. This product is not intended for sleep, overnight use, or placement over the face, neck, or airway. Discontinue use if discomfort occurs.
