Training 2s - Calming Shoulder Pad Set of 2

Support focus, calm, and self-regulation with the Training2s: Calming Shoulder Pad – Set of 2, a gentle and effective sensory resource ideal for early learning environments. Designed as the friendly red Patrick the Dog, these weighted shoulder pads offer comforting pressure that helps children aged 3+ feel more grounded and ready to participate in classroom tasks or quiet activities.

Each pad is simply placed over the shoulders, helping children improve body awareness (proprioception), process sensory information more effectively, and maintain attention for longer periods. With a weight of 0.78kg each, these cheerful companions deliver consistent, calming feedback - reducing anxiety and creating a sense of security.

The dual set allows for flexible classroom use: provide support to two children simultaneously or keep one on hand as a backup or for use in different zones. The soft texture and vibrant colour make them an appealing addition to sensory spaces or individual desks.
