GUC ~ Wee Believers' "Louie the Lamb" Multisensory Stuffed Animal/Calming Toy

Louie the Lamb features whimsical patterns, cheerful colors and a variety of soft textures to fascinate and comfort both boys and girls. I purchased it for use in my classroom's calming corner to help support my young students with neurodiverse conditions (autism, ADHD and sensory processing disorder) because of their unique sensory needs and to offer them a supportive and inclusive learning environment as they were mainstreamed into my regular education classroom. These students with neurodiverse conditions sometimes would experience heightened sensitivity to sensory input or require additional sensory input to feel regulated. Sensory breaks in my calming corner would address their needs by offering activities that calmed or stimulated their sensory systems. Louie the Lamb has colorful patterns on his paws and ears. His fur is made of soft, thick & chunky yarn that has snugly textures, that children love to touch. Research supports that the velcro strip on Louie's stomach provides tactile stimulation, which can help a child focus and calm down. The velcro encourages fine motor skills development through pulling & pressing. and offers a satisfying sound & texture that can be soothing. Perfect for youngsters: Ages: 0+ Material: Cotton blend Spot clean for quick cleanings Machine washable in cold water. Can be thrown of a low heat cycle or air dried. *Louie has been washed & placed carefully into a new ziploc bag to keep it clean.* This toy comes from a smoke-free home.
