Francesca The Flamingo has been waiting here for you. Francesca loves adventures and using her five senses, too. Her superpower is the sense of taste, her ultimate mindful tool, she loves to be in the moment, enjoying delicious and nourishing foods. Francesca is here to show you how to use taste to enjoy life’s surprises. Take her with you everywhere, in good times and even in crisis. She’s there for you to hold you, calm you, heal you with soft snuggles.
Backed by evidence-based research, Francesca the Weighted Flamingo focuses on Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS), which is a firm tactile sensory input that provides a Proprioceptive* response to the body. It simulates firm hugs and compression and motivates the release of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. This helps children to regulate their emotions when going to sleep or when they are feeling emotionally overwhelmed.
Francesca and her five senses friends are here to teach you why your five senses keep you in the moment; a recipe for a happy life.
Please note that while Francesca The Weighted Flamingo is soft and cuddly, she is also a special toy that requires gentle care. To ensure her longevity and safety, we recommend that children handle Francesca with care and that he is not subjected to rough play or washing. While we strive to create toys that are both durable and lovable, we cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur due to improper use. Thank you for your understanding and for giving Francesca the love and attention she deserves.
