How this helps

Rooted in research around Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation, Flutter provides proprioceptive input — the same calming effect as a firm hug.

  • Steady weight — 3 lbs spread evenly, so no single spot carries it all.
  • Something to trace — textured wings with swirling embroidered lines.
  • A choice of placement — lap, shoulders, or chest, decided by the child.

Made for kids who: crave deep pressure or sensory input; struggle to sit still or self-regulate; experience meltdowns or intense emotions; find transitions overwhelming; have trouble calming down before sleep.

Made for every child, with neurodivergent kids in mind — including those with autism, anxiety, or sensory processing differences.

Hold it. Trace it. Move the weight.

Trace a wing

Follow the swirling lines with a finger. Fidgeting and tracing give the hands something slow to do.

Wear it on the shoulders

Hang the four wings across the shoulders so the weight sits where a hug would.

Watch

See it before you buy it.

A short look at what arrives: how big Flutter is, how the four wings move, and how much three pounds actually feels like.

Your first week with Flutter

Three pounds is more than most plush toys, so the first week is mostly about letting a child find where they like the weight.

Day one

How to introduce it

Hand Flutter over on an ordinary day, not a hard one. Let your child feel the weight, then show the three places it can go — lap, shoulders, chest — and let them pick.

Days two to four

Find the moments

Most families land on a couple of repeatable moments: reading, the wind-down before bed, or the drive home. Leave Flutter where those moments happen.

Any day

When it doesn’t work

Some kids want the weight and some don’t want it that day. Put Flutter back where it lives, skip the explanation, and offer it again another time. Use is never required.

When Flutter may fit

  • Winding down for bed
  • Recovering after a meltdown
  • A tough transition
  • Quiet time and reading
  • A calm corner at home or school
  • Long car rides and waiting

No batteries and no screens. Introduce Flutter when things are calm, so the weight already feels familiar by the time a hard moment shows up.

Product questions

How much does it weigh?

Flutter is 3 lbs, or about 1.4 kg. The weight is spread across the body and all four wings rather than sitting in one place.

What is it made out of?

High quality fabrics, stuffed with non-toxic polyethylene beads.

Where can a child put the weight?

On the lap, over the shoulders, or against the chest. The four-wing design is there so the child can decide where they feel it, and change their mind.

Is it machine washable?

We don’t recommend it. Please spot clean when possible.

Can you microwave it?

No. Flutter is not designed to be heated up.

What are the shipping, return, and warranty terms?

See the Shipping Policy, the Refund Policy, and the Terms of service.
