TalkTools Sensory Bean Bag Kit - Set of 8 - Speech Therapy Tools - Occupational Therapy Tools

These were recommended by our occupational therapist for my daughter who has Down Syndrome. They have been perfect for her. She has definitely improved in the sensory area. These are perfect if you are struggling with your kiddo when it comes to sensory issues!

Baby hands love to touch different things and these are fun little bags to hold onto and chew on. Well made and a nice color palette.

The textures are fantastic—there’s a set for every kind of sensory need, from silky and soft to bumpy and scratchy. My child enjoys the variety, and it’s been a helpful tool for addressing tactile issues, especially when it comes to sensitivity or defensiveness with certain textures. The bean bags are soft but durable, and they’re small enough to be easy to handle, but large enough to provide good coverage during sessions. The booklet that comes with them is a helpful guide, offering tips on how to integrate them into therapy routines. That said, I did find that the bags are a little difficult to clean. After a few uses, the fabric can pick up dirt or oils, and it’s not the easiest to wipe down, especially with the fuzzier textures. It would be nice if the fabric were a bit more stain-resistant or easier to clean.

I ordered the TalkTools Sensory Bean Bag Kit and am a little disappointed with the quality. As professional therapy tools I expected these to feel high quality and durable. They're not awful by any means, but they feel a little cheap - lightweight, low quality material, and I worry that the seams are not strong. Because of the low quality material, these are difficult to wash. I would love to throw these into a delicates bag into the washing machine, but I worry they'll fall apart.

Seems nice albeit I cannot really assess it for it's intended purchase so I can't judge how the intended audience might like or dislike it. My personal disappointment is that the materials felt quite synthetic to me- it's definitely a synthetic satin, possibly and poly corduroy, def a synthetic fleece etc etc. It would be nice to have real cotton and silks and wools here, especially for the cost IMO. But I'm a fibers/material lover so might just be me... Would be nice to also teach about different fabrics+materials this way.
