TalkTools Sensory Bean Bag Kit - Fun and Safe Tools for Tactile Defensive Behaviors, Hyposensitivity, and Hypersensitivity - Booklet/4 Textures Silky, Bumpy, Furry, Scratchy/Pack 8

These were recommended by our occupational therapist for my daughter who has Down Syndrome. They have been perfect for her. She has definitely improved in the sensory area. These are perfect if you are struggling with your kiddo when it comes to sensory issues!

Baby hands love to touch different things and these are fun little bags to hold onto and chew on. Well made and a nice color palette.

The textures are fantastic—there’s a set for every kind of sensory need, from silky and soft to bumpy and scratchy. My child enjoys the variety, and it’s been a helpful tool for addressing tactile issues, especially when it comes to sensitivity or defensiveness with certain textures. The bean bags are soft but durable, and they’re small enough to be easy to handle, but large enough to provide good coverage during sessions. The booklet that comes with them is a helpful guide, offering tips on how to integrate them into therapy routines. That said, I did find that the bags are a little difficult to clean. After a few uses, the fabric can pick up dirt or oils, and it’s not the easiest to wipe down, especially with the fuzzier textures. It would be nice if the fabric were a bit more stain-resistant or easier to clean.

I ordered the TalkTools Sensory Bean Bag Kit and am a little disappointed with the quality. As professional therapy tools I expected these to feel high quality and durable. They're not awful by any means, but they feel a little cheap - lightweight, low quality material, and I worry that the seams are not strong. Because of the low quality material, these are difficult to wash. I would love to throw these into a delicates bag into the washing machine, but I worry they'll fall apart.

Seems nice albeit I cannot really assess it for it's intended purchase so I can't judge how the intended audience might like or dislike it. My personal disappointment is that the materials felt quite synthetic to me- it's definitely a synthetic satin, possibly and poly corduroy, def a synthetic fleece etc etc. It would be nice to have real cotton and silks and wools here, especially for the cost IMO. But I'm a fibers/material lover so might just be me... Would be nice to also teach about different fabrics+materials this way.

To be honest, I am quite disappointed with this product. I fully understand the concept behind these and was excited to give it a try with a child who has low tone. However, when these came, the quality was subpar. These are nothing more then standard material around what feels like cotton balls. When I heard the word sensory, I was thinking something durable and sturdy. Maybe a bean bag filling or something that has some weight to it. They are difficult to hold, and the blue cotton one is already showing signs of ware after one use. I was going to give this a one star, but the child who uses these loves it, so I gave it two stars. From one professional to another, you can find bean bags of all different sensory materials that will do the trick. For me, it was the shape that drew me to this product. Not worth the investment. Note to reader: I have other products by this company. They are amazing and I would highly recommend them. This just did not do it's job.

These are all synthetic as far as I can tell. But they all have very different textures and that is what matters!

Was expecting bean bags, but instead received cotton stuffed "bean shaped" bags. They are really lightweight and do not give much stimulation sensory wise. Kind of pricey for what they are. They do have three different types of texture, but all are exactly the same weight and squishiness. Keeping them at a three star instead of lower because they ended up being perfect gifts for our cats. Our cats have gotten way more use out of them than our kids. So, if you are looking for fun toys for the kittens, this is a good buy considering how much pets stores charge for similar play toys.
