"The Worry Pet is a crochet therapy toy. It's a fluffy, stuffed ball of joy and calmness! The Worry Pet is perfect as a fidget toy for kids with autism or sensory and anxiety needs. Children can carry this soft, pocket-sized pet around and keep them close by to hold or rub when they experience worries or emotional regulation difficulties. The poly-pellets in this pet help it have a weighted feel, and gives some comforting sensory input when rubbing between fingers. The tactile sensation make it an especially helpful coping tool to help students who struggle with social-emotional coping skills."
