Weighted Lap Pads apply calming deep pressure to the lap and upper legs whilst the user is sitting down.
Our Lap Pads are ideal for use in the classroom, at reading time, at the dinner table or in the car.
The weight has a calming effect helping attention span and reducing excessive fidgeting.
They are a cost effective, safe and portable tool for use whenever and wherever needed.
They are made from high quality cotton and filled with plastic pellets for safety and comfort.
Lap pads come in two weights:
- 1kg for children with approximate product dimensions of: (L) 60cm x (W) 30cm
- 2kg for older children, teens and adults with approximate product dimensions of: (L) 66cm x (W) 51cm
