The 2.5kg Weighted Turtle is a comforting and effective tool for sensory regulation, offering deep pressure input to promote calm and focus. Its ideal lap-sized design provides soothing proprioceptive input without restricting movement, making it perfect for the classroom, home, or travel.
This plush companion supports emotional regulation, helping to reduce anxiety and manage overwhelming emotions. Portable and easy to carry, it encourages routine and consistency when used regularly.
Combining the benefits of weighted therapy with the soft, huggable feel of a plushie, it offers both function and fun. Heavier than many similar weighted plushies, it remains the perfect size and shape for use at a desk, providing gentle reassurance throughout the day
The 2.5kg Weighted Turtle is exclusively available at the Starfish Store, ensuring you receive a high-quality, thoughtfully designed sensory tool you won’t find anywhere else.
Please note: This turtle is designed for therapeutic use. It is not a toy and may not withstand rough treatment.Weighted items are a therapeutic tool, and we always recommend using them in consultation with your therapist. They can play a valuable role as part of your sensory diet. Keep in mind, that as a general rule of thumb, it is recommended that weighted items be no more than 10% of body weight and used in blocks of time, usually up to 20 minute intervals (unless under advice from a suitably qualified professional).
Caring for your weighted items:
Do:
- use while seated or stationery
- carry with both hands
- surface clean with a damp sponge
- restitch seams in places (if the weight strains the seams) using top stitch
Avoid:
- using while walking or moving around
- carrying in a way that places undue stress on seams
- dropping or rough handling

This has been an absolute lifesaver! My son has been able to regulate his emotions so much better having this up in our lounge room, allowing him to move constantly.. and have fun! 💕 highly recommend!
Great product! We have only had this for a week and my son loves it! He has ADHD and ASD and struggles at school and he has been wearing this nearly all day at school and talking to his teacher she has noticed he isn’t as hyper and fidgety in class! 10/10 recommend!
Great product. Offers diversity in capability for a very diverse range of motion and therapy options.
My kids love this... and me haha I shocked them, when I drew a picture, tipped it upside down, it looked like it had disappeared but to turn it the right way, and the magnets kept the picture in place. They thought I was magic ✨️
Great for my 5 year old who needs to work on his fine motor skills and being creative. The tap tap set is also loved by my eldest, 13 years old who loves a therapeutic activity before bed. He loves to tap tap away.
Since putting this on my son’s bed it has made a huge difference. We have also found if he is getting overwhelmed he is now retreating to his bed. He says “it feels like a big hug”. We opted for the double as we have a very thick (60cm) king single mattress.
This swing is the absolute bees knees of sensory seeking/ risky play/ calm down activity. It is used multiple times a day by both my kiddos, and is incredibly durable. I cannot recommend it enough!!
This is absolutely perfect for my five year old. It is considerably easier and faster to brush his teeth, and it enables him to brush his own teeth more often, and with better results. This fosters his independence, while aiding his fine motor deficit. I would highly recommend it.
I purchased this after my 3 year old began chewing his comforter during moments of heightened emotion. He took to the bright colour and fun shape immediately and seemed to find the chew helpful.
I bought this on recommendation from Starfish as I was looking for a game to help my two girls play together. It’s been such a helpful and fun game — they have to work together to complete it, so no arguments about competing against each other!
