My Project

These items would be a great way to help students reset when they are having a difficult day or having some anxiety. Everyone could use a way to reset themselves when they are having a rough day.

Everyone enjoys cuddles.

The weight of the stuffed animals offers students a weighted hug to help calm them down and help them reset their body to either go back to class to to help focus their minds. The blanket does the same thing by being placed in the lap of students who need to focus when taking tests and assessments.
