Training2s - Calming Lap Pad Small (1.36kg)

Support calm and focus in your learning environment with the Training2s: Calming Lap Pad Small (1.36kg) - a gentle, weighted tool designed to help children remain grounded and attentive during seated activities. Shaped like the cheerful red Patrick the Dog, this playful lap pad provides soothing deep pressure input to the child’s thighs, promoting body awareness, sensory regulation, and emotional comfort.

Ideal for children aged 3+ who are easily distracted or need extra sensory support, the lap pad helps enhance proprioception - the understanding of one’s body in space - which can in turn improve concentration and reduce restlessness. Simply place the pad on the child’s lap during group time, desk work, or quiet reading to create a sense of calm and security.

With its vibrant design and soft fabric, this lap pad isn’t just functional - it’s also fun and reassuring. The durable construction makes it suitable for daily classroom use and easy to care for at home or in educational settings.
