Description

Meet the Octopus Cushion, the perfect tool to help your children sit comfortably while satisfying their sensory needs at the same time. It's more than just a cushion; it's an experience! Measuring 34x60 cm and made of soft felt, this is the lap pad that will definitely keep your kids in their seats. The cushion combines a range of textures and sensations, from its soft, fluffy face and smooth eyes to tactile tentacles and springy hairs. It's specifically designed to be not just comfortable but also stimulating.

But that's not all. This amazing little cushion has an extra surprise: it vibrates with a simple pull of a string! Yes, you read it right. Vibrations have a calming and organizing effect on most people, including children. Activating touch receptors and deep sensors, just like in a massage, has a relaxing and invigorating effect. This is extremely useful for children struggling with sensory processing in inclusive education, at school, or in the classroom. By offering chewing opportunities that come with vibrations, many children can often better organize and calm themselves. This is just one of many applications for which the Octopus Cushion can be used.

It's important for every child to have the space to explore vibrations at their own pace and on their own terms. Whether a child is hypersensitive or hyposensitive, vibrations help to "normalize" the sensation. The Octopus Cushion is thus a wonderful addition to any healthcare or educational setting, and is ideal for home use.

Senso-Care, your trusted supplier for aids, exercise materials, and development-oriented toys, is proud to offer this unique product in our extensive webshop. Discover the versatility of the Octopus Cushion today and make your children's lives a bit more comfortable!

What our customers say:

The "Squid Pillow" clearly has a lot of appeal to children. Customers praise the product because it looks attractive and colorful. This stimulates both visual and tactile curiosity in children. Many indicate that it invites fiddling, which can help bring calm, especially since the pillow is somewhat weighted. The size is also found to be comfortable, particularly the way it can rest on the knee and the squid's head that stands out with its cheerful colors.

Despite these positive points, there are also some areas of concern. Several customers note that the vibrating effect is quite minimal and is primarily felt in the squid's head. Some point out that the vibration is only felt in the hands and not in the legs through the pillow. Also, the pull cord for the vibrating function is a concern for some; it's not just short, but the mechanism itself doesn't seem to be very securely attached, posing a risk of children pulling it out. The squid's legs, according to some, could have more variety, both in terms of materials used and fillings, like a crinkling filling, for instance. Moreover, the pillow could be a bit heavier, and some fabrics, such as the blue base fabric, feel a bit stiff.

In conclusion, the "Squid Pillow" is generally well-received, mainly because of its appearance and the opportunity to fiddle with it. However, it would benefit from some modifications to make the product more robust and versatile.
