Imagine a plush that mirrors the sensation of a gentle, reassuring hand.
Oscar the Octopus has been carefully shaped and weighted to replicate this comforting touch. This helps children feel secure and calm, and bring about a feeling that reminds them of you.
When cuddled, weighted teddy bears create feelings akin to a warm and reassuring embrace. This touch reduces anxiety, stress, and restlessness, promoting a sense of security and tranquility. Weighted products have also been shown to support individuals navigating sensory processing challenges, such as autism and ADHD.
The umbilical cord is baby's first comfort object.
Ultrasound images have shown babies holding and interacting with the umbilical cord. When baby is born, this familiar object is lost. Recognising this, Oscars front tentacles have been designed to replicate the feel of the umbilical cord, and offered continuity, familiarity and reassurance to newborns, helping the transition from the womb to the world.
Bright and captivating colours
One of the first colours baby begins to process is red and Oscars deep red/orange colouring will capture their attention. The smooth material on Oscars underside shines like a rainbow, and contrasts withe his deep colouring and features, ensuring Oscar is visually stimulating, which also helps with children's visual development.
Crafted for little hands to hold, grab and snuggle
Babies instinctively grasp objects in the palm of their hands. This interaction offers more than immediate comfort; it plays a pivotal role in the gradual development of fine motor skills. Oscars is crafted in supersoft and smooth materials, promising multisensory exploration, while ensuring an embrace that remains cuddly and comforting.
