I just recently found these! You can place these in the microwave, and it provides some gentle heat for soothing comfort for kids. The one I saw was also slightly weighted due to the filling inside. I’m not sure if this one is weighted, but I would guess that it is too! It is filled with specially treated millet grains and dried lavender flower.
Amazon Item: Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog. This toy is great for preschool aged kids! Build fine motor skills by placing the pegs in the holes of the hedgehog. Very cute and fun also! Have them place the pegs into the holes, talk about the colors, and remove the pegs from the hedgehog to clean up!

So easy to make. . . just add water and stir! Great tactile sensory play item for kids, and if they happen to eat some, it’s ok!
This game is great for kids, especially 4-5 year olds! To work on cognitive, fine motor, visual motor, and visual scanning skills!
I found these pencils recently, and they are awesome! Triangular shaped to assist with adaptive grasp for handwriting. No need for additional grips to add on to the pencils. They also have a thicker lead so they don’t break as easily as other mechanical pencil leads!

I haven’t read this one yet, but it came recommended to me by one of the families I am currently working with. I flipped through their copy briefly, and it looks like it contains some very good information, especially for first time parents!
