Sensory Sack: A Colorful Body Sock for Creative Play
Sensory Sacks, also known as body socks, are used for fun and therapeutic purposes. They offer a range of sensory experiences and activities for children and adults, and are a fantastic sensory regulation tool for those with sensory processing issues.
A few of the benefits are:
- Deep Pressure and Calming: The snug fit of the sack can create a sense of security and comfort, helping to regulate emotions and behavior. As well as calm individuals with sensory sensitivities or anxiety.
- Movement and Gross Motor Skills: Sensory Sacks can be used for a variety of movement activities like crawling, stretching, and dancing, promoting gross motor skill development and coordination. The resistance from the colorful body bag can add a level of fun and challenge to the movement.
- Therapeutic Benefits: Sensory Sacks are often used in occupational therapy to address sensory processing challenges and improve body awareness. They can be helpful for individuals with autism, ADHD, or other sensory processing differences.
- Imaginative Play: Children can use the sack to create their own space and engage in creative play, further enhancing the sensory experience.
Our Sensory Sack is made of a soft fabric with plenty of stretch and give, but not too much, as there is still a bit of resistance in the stretch. Encouraging those using the colorful body sock to really push and stretch the fabric, and also allowing those needing the deep pressure to still feel the fabric snug around them.
The dimensions of the colorful body bag when laid out flat with no stretching are: 64″ long and 20″ wide. It can be machine washed on a low heat setting. After washing, it’s best to dry the sack flat on a towel to maintain its shape.
Please note that the color and fabric pattern of the Sensory Sack and the drawstring storage bag may vary.
