Supported by evidence-based research, Francesca the Weighted Flamingo uses Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS)—a gentle, firm sensory input that supports the body’s proprioceptive system. This calming pressure mimics the feeling of a secure hug, which may encourage the release of serotonin and dopamine, helping children regulate their emotions, especially at bedtime or during overwhelming moments.
Francesca, along with her Five Senses friends, gently teaches children how their senses help them stay present in the moment—an important foundation for emotional wellbeing and a happier, more balanced life.
While Francesca is soft, comforting, and designed for cuddles, she is also a sensory support item and should be treated with care. We recommend gentle handling only, with no rough play or washing, to ensure her safety and longevity. While we aim to create products that are both durable and nurturing, Grow and Flow cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use. Thank you for giving Francesca the love she deserves.
