Many children find it hard to express their feelings.
Sometimes simply things like “I’m feeling angry” or “I’m feeling hot” may be hard for them to explain. This adds to a situation’s stress.
This Emotions weighted lap blanket for girls helps reduce anxiety and gives your child an easy way to explain explain how she is feeling.
The Emotions weighted lap blanket for girls comes printed with 10 emotions to express how they currently feel or if they need help.
This durable, washable minky fabric can sit on your child’s lap or on their desk when not needed. It can be folded or scrunched up without it damaging the print.
The cute design makes children want to use them or look at the faces to describe how they are feeling.
They are also fully washable.
These are lined for durability with triple stitching and filled with our super quiet micro glass beads. The printing is professionally dyed into the fabric to ensure that washing doesn’t erase it.
This is a unique Calming Moments product, with our own designed characters.

Care instructions
All Calming Moments’ weighted lap pads (or lap blankets) are completely machine-washable on cold, gentle cycle if your machine can take the weight.
If not, please take it to a laundromat and wash it there. Please do not tumble dry or dry clean.
Weighted lap pads help calm anxiety and improve focus and concentration. They do this through applying a gentle, consistent pressure known as Deep Pressure Touch.
This Deep Pressure Touch (or proprioceptive input) works on your central nervous system.
Firstly, it switches off the “fight or flight” mode in the sympathetic part of the central nervous system.
Then it switches on the parasympathetic nervous system. This physically slows your breathing and heart rate and makes your muscles relax.
The end result is that you feel calmer and less stressed. So then you can focus on the task at hand.
