Combined with the grounding benefits of deep pressure therapy, Mello the Monkey Weighted Sensory Companion can help individuals feel more organised, settled, and ready to participate in everyday activities.
Supplied in a reusable calico drawstring bag, Mello is easy to transport between environments, making it an ideal support for school, therapy appointments, community outings, and home use.

My son loves the weighted plushie. It feels nice and soft and the weight gives a good sensory feedback without being too heavy if you hold it for a long time.
