Small Weighted Blanket - Blue

Weighted Blankets provide deep pressure all over the body and can be very calming. When used correctly they can be a powerful addition to anyone's sensory tool box. 

Our weighted blankets are carefully hand crafted right here in Melbourne. These blue small weighted blankets are approximately 1 m x 1 m. Small blankets are best suited to younger children. Blankets are filled with Poly Pellets and so are washable. 

Occupational Therapists recommend that blankets be no more than 5 - 10 % of a person's body weight, so please take this into careful consideration when thinking about selecting a blanket. If you're looking for a weighted blanket for a toddler, the small size is generally best suited. Alternatively, you might like to consider a weighted lap blanket.

Colours / patterns and sizing can also be custom made at your request (see ourcustom blanket item).

If you need help with choosing the right resource for your individual needs, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our experienced therapy team are always happy to help.
