Weighted Plush Monkey, 0.5 kg

The Weighted Monkey by by ASTRUP is more than just a stuffed animal—it’s a loyal companion that gives children a sense of calm, security, and closeness. With its gentle weight of 0.5 kg, it provides proprioceptive stimulation that strengthens body awareness and helps soothe. Its long arms wrap wonderfully around the shoulders or tummy, creating a feeling of being hugged. The monkey is ideal for moments of relaxation, when falling asleep, or as a source of comfort during the day at daycare. Its soft, cuddly fur invites children to touch and cherish it—a meaningful gift for children who need a safe space, warmth, or sensory regulation. It’s also a valuable aid in therapy—quiet, friendly, and always there.

While weighted stuffed animals are beneficial for all children, it’s important to choose the right weight for the child’s size and age. As a general guideline, the stuffed animal’s weight should not exceed 10% of the child’s body weight. Choosing a stuffed animal that a child can easily hold, carry, or cuddle with ensures both safety and the most pleasant experience.
