DIY Weighted No Sew Mermaid Sensory Pillow

August 4, 2017 by Shellie Wilson

This weighted lap pad or pillow is perfect for Children or adults with sensory issues. Weighted blankets and lap pads have become very popular this year as the knowledge of how useful they are has spread across the internet. We started using a heavy bed spread for our DS and he is sleeping much better as a result.  This Mermaid pillow lap pad, is very tactile, I would say it’s almost like a fidget pillow.

You can make your own using this tutorial over at Lemon Lime Adventures.
