With the change in weather comes a change in wardrobe as well. This may be good for kids who crave calming layers, but for kids who have trouble with transitions or are sensory-sensitive the change can be tumultuous. Let’s look at sensory clothing options that will help your kids dress for success.
Weighted Outwear
Weighted vests and jackets are great ways to add layers and provide gentle calming input to help kids concentrate. The Denim Weighted Vest is a stylish option that looks just like vests your child’s friends might wear. Want something with more coverage? Kids love the Weighted Denim Jacket, too! If you’re looking for something a bit warmer, use the Weighted Fleece Vest to cozy up. You can even find a soothing sweatshirt with our Weighted Fleece Hoodie Jacket.
For kids who crave all-day compression, wearing a Sens-ational Hug Tee will provide a soothing hug sensation through their trunk, hips and arms. They can wear the shirts on their own or underneath a school uniform. The tagless, soft material can help kids with tactile sensitivities regulate as well. The Hug Tee is also available in short sleeves or tank tops for those warmer days. Kids can easily combine the benefits of compression tops with the grounding effects of a weighted vest if they need more sensory input.
Hats are a terrific accessory for any wardrobe. The Denim Weighted Baseball Cap’s brim provides protection from harsh sunlight during the day. The weights are sewn in around the hat’s perimeter, providing even weight throughout the crown of your child’s head without added bulk.
The cozy minky fabric and fleece lining make the Bear Hug Hoodie a favorite for many people. Kids, teens, and adults alike love wrapping themselves up in this gently weighted wearable blanket. Deep pockets and a hood increase the soothing effects of the Bear Hug Hoodie, allowing kids to fully envelop themselves.
