These squishy, stretchy animal figures (Pig, Pug, French Bulldog, and Dachshund) are manipulable sensory tools designed to provide tactile and proprioceptive input, supporting self-regulation, stress reduction, and hand strengthening. The deformable, sand-filled material allows for a variety of manipulative actions, including squeezing, pulling, squishing, and stretching, providing rich tactile and proprioceptive feedback. These actions can be calming and focusing, potentially reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. The resistance provided by the sand filling makes these figures suitable for gentle hand strengthening exercises, which can be beneficial for improving hand muscle strength and dexterity, potentially supporting better handwriting skills. Their compact, pocket-sized design makes them ideal for use as a discreet, quiet fidget tool, providing a quiet and accessible outlet for restless energy in environments like classrooms. They are a valuable addition to any sensory toolkit and can also function as a desk pet. (Individual figures are sold separately. Color preferences can be noted at checkout and will be accommodated if possible.)
