Product Description

Francesca is a therapeutic Flamingo who is perfect for all children including our sensory and anxious friends. She can be placed in the fridge for cold therapy, or heated for heat therapy and is lovingly infused with French lavender to encourage relaxation. Her soft texture and weighted body is perfect for reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality.

Backed by evidence-based research, Francesca the Weighted Flamingo focuses on Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS), which is a firm tactile sensory input that provides a Proprioceptive* response to the body. It simulates firm hugs and compression and motivates the release of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. This helps children to regulate their emotions when going to sleep or when they are feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

Francesca and her five senses friends are here to teach you why your five senses keep you in the moment; a recipe for a happy life. 

Please note that while Francesca The Weighted Flamingo is soft and cuddly, she is also a special toy that requires gentle care. To ensure her longevity and safety, we recommend that children handle Francesca with care and that he is not subjected to rough play or washing. While we strive to create toys that are both durable and lovable, we cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur due to improper use. Thank you for your understanding and for giving Francesca the love and attention she deserves.
