What our experts think
Children will enjoy exploring the colours, weight and softness of the Mr Tumble Calming Companion, who provides reassurance, comfort and aids emotional regulation. This is because the weighted nature of it is both soothing and reassuring, making it a great tool for helping children with regulating their moods.
It works very well as an addition to a cosy corner or a reading area, where children who may get overwhelmed or overstimulated can sit down and regulate their emotions, before going back to play. This is an important part of social and emotional development as learning how to successfully self-regulate helps children to become resilient as they grow. It is particularly helpful for children with additional needs such as ASD or ADD and teachers found it to be a useful tool for helping to calm nursery age children who struggle with nap time or group time.
