Weighted sensory animals from Sensory Tools give you deep, even pressure through soft plush designs. You can use them during reading, homework, or travel to ease anxiety, sharpen attention, and steady emotions. Add one to your daily sensory plan for comfort you can carry.

How do weighted animals help?

The weight signals your muscles and joints, which can slow a racing body and settle breathing. Choose snakes, lizards, alligators, elephants, and more to match feel and shape to the moment. They sit well on your lap, across your shoulders, or under your hands for grounding input. If deep pressure works for you, pair a weighted animal with pieces from our calming tools, such as a lap blanket or a massager.

How can you use them each day?
Settle in for seated work with the alligator across your shoulders, then shift it to your lap for circle time or meals. Keep a smaller animal in your bag for clinics or car rides, and rotate textures and weights so you can match energy, place, and task without breaking your rhythm.
