a favorite

This is a very soft cuddly tool for my Behavior classroom. Students intuitively know how to use it and it's a favorite among kids who want to hug something but are far too cool to use a stuffed animal.

Great for Self Regulation

We got this for our sensory room in our childcare. I’ve noticed the children who struggle with sensory overload crave this ball, and it really calms them down.
