Supported by evidence-based research, Ollie the Weighted Octopus uses Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS) - a gentle, firm sensory input that supports the body’s proprioceptive system. Similar to the feeling of a comforting hug, this pressure can help encourage the release of serotonin and dopamine, assisting children with emotional regulation, particularly at bedtime or during overwhelming moments.
Ollie, along with his Four Senses friends, introduces simple, mindful tools to help children understand the importance of their senses and develop self-soothing skills in a gentle and supportive way.
While Ollie is soft and comforting, he is also a sensory support item and should be treated with care. We recommend gentle handling and avoiding rough play or washing to maintain his quality and safety. 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 caring for Ollie with the love he deserves.
