Spring Has Sprung

No matter where you live, I think you can agree that spring has sprung!  I live in the Chicagoland area and spring sprung very early here.  While being spoiled with 80 degree temperatures in early March, I should have known better than expect they would stay around.  Temps quickly ducked back into the 40s and 50s to keep me from fulling switching over my wardrobe for spring quite yet.  Now that it seems spring is really, truly here, it makes me have more energy and motivation to try new things.  One area that I am always looking for new things to try is in helping with my daughter's sensory needs.  She was diagnosed at the age of 2 with Sensory Processing Disorder.  At the age of 6 she was also diagnosed with Nonverbal Learning Disorder.  She is now 8 years old, so I have tried all kinds of sensory activities to help her regulate herself.  That trial (and a lot of error) process inspired the products we have designed for Sensory Stitches.  Each unique item is designed for a variety of possible uses. 
For example, our Sparky dog is perfect for sitting on a lap while reading a book or riding in the car.  Sparky is also great to put in a laundry basket and push around the house.  Make a list of items that Sparky needs to "pick up" and have your child "drive" Sparky on his errands.  You can work on direction following, proprioceptive input, motor planning, prioritizing, and so much more in that fun activity! 
As you head into spring and start thinking about fun activities that you would like to incorporate for your child, talk a look at our fantastic products to add fun into your daily routines!

A new twist on Lap Buddy and Sammy Snake

With Sensory Stitches, I love talking to therapists about our products.  I enjoy finding out how they would use them (therapists are sooo creative!) and what would make our products even easier to use with a variety of kids.  That inspired Sensory Stitches to offer a new option for our Lap Buddy and Sammy Snake--VINYL!  Easy clean vinyl makes clinic use of our Lap Buddy and Sammy Snake so much easier.  It can be wiped down with a disinfecting wipe or cleaned with spray cleaner.  All of our vinyl products are completely sewn shut, so that all exposed fabric is surface wipable and washable.

Welcome!

Welcome to Sensory Stitches!  A mother and daughter company founded to help provide affordable weighted sensory aids for the special needs community.  We are a new company starting from the ground up.  Currently we are offering two different products--

The Sammy Snake neck wrap is available in 3 pound or 5 pound weights.  It is made with a removable, machine washable flannel cover.  The cover slips over the wrap like a pillow case and velcros on the end.  The wrap is weighted with aquarium pebbles so it is also washable (recommended hand wash).  The edges around the wrap are machine sewn and finished with a serger to ensure no escaping pebbles.  Sammy Snake measures 30 inches long by 4 inches wide.

Cost - $35

The Lap Buddy lap pad is made of cozy soft fleece.  It is padded and sized perfectly to fit on a child's lap.  The best thing about the Lap Buddy is that it is completely machine washable.  Just toss the whole thing in with your wash--how easy is that?  :o)  You can dry it in the dryer, but it is recommended air dry.  The weight comes from 1-pound packets of aquarium pebbles inserted in between the padding.  The packets are serged on all sides to ensure that there will be no escaping pebbles.  The Lap Buddy is available in 2, 3, or 4 pound weights.  It is also available as fringed (12 inches by 16 inches) or unfringed (10 inches by 14 inches). 

Cost - $30

We are pleased to offer free delivery/pick-up through Spot On Therapies, LLC in Naperville.  Shipping is available for additional charge.  Our designs are customizable (special print fabric, different weights, etc.) for an additional cost of $15.  Currently we are offering several different fabrics for each of our products.
