The weight in it is not like anything we have ever seen. It is made using tiny glass beads that almost feel like sand. My daughter, Ryley, found the smaller beads a more even, comfortable sensory input experience. She even grabbed her traditional lap pad to compare the differences. She found it so much more comfortable.  

For me the biggest thing was what we experienced this weekend. Saturday we went to a very busy and loud robotics competition for her brother. Our family met us there along with her cousin 7 year old Jeremy. They sat down with the lap pad and we're able to connect and play together while Ryley had the comfort of the weighted lap pad. He even loved taking turns drawing with her.

Then we get to the look of the actual lap pad. The fabric is easy to clean but more than that it is fun and educational as well. It comes with a special pen that you add water to. Once you write or draw on this lap pad with the water pen the lap pad changes color to show your work. It shows a rainbow of colors when wet that we loved. When it dries it turns white again. Ryley loves being able to write and draw with it. I on the other hand love having something to give sensory input but also gives her a creative outlet. She can practice drawing shapes and writing her letters." - Jenn E.
