5 years & up. This Portable 5lb Weighted Sensory Lap Pad is a super soft sensory tool that offers gentle deep pressure calming. Help increase the ability to focus and relieve anxiety and stress with this weighted lap pad. Features a dual textured cover; soft and bumpy on one side and a smooth silky - like material on the other. The 21" x 19" pad is usually laid across the lap horizontally while sitting. Can also be rested across the shoulders, back or stomach while reading, relaxing or watching TV. The benefits are optimal when the pad is used for approximately 20 minutes and results can last up to 2 hours. Constructed with polyester fleece and durable odor free glass beads. To clean, wipe the surface with a damp cloth or sponge using soapy water or mild detergent and air dry. When in need of a more thorough cleaning the weighted pad can be washed in a cold water, delicate cycle. Do not use fabric softener as it may affect the way the material feels.
