manimo are definitely popular these days. Educators and parents talk to me about it regularly. I am also always pleasantly surprised to find them in the premises of different Childcare Centres!
This enthusiasm prompted me to reclaim these weighted animals that I had already used in the past. I have a few uses in mind for my little coconuts who find it difficult to stay put or who always want to touch other children and other small problems.
I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. The fabric is very soft and looks really strong. I used it for 2 hours while working on my computer! I was so comfortable with him that I even slept with my new manimo! Which was definitely not expected.
When I introduced my new dog to a daycare group, it was love at first sight! We chose a name for him (Carlos) and we immediately established rules. Which friend does he belong to? When do you use it? What can we do with him? It was a hit!
manimo weigh between 1 and 2.5 kg. They are not very heavy but instantly give us a soothing effect. It gives us an enhanced effect of sleeping with a doggie or a pillow in our arms or the calming effect of gentle pressure during a massage. When you remove it, it almost feels like we are missing something!
manimo are very versatile little weighted companions. They can be used for concentration activities, for relaxing and even for falling asleep. With the weight of the manimo you feel more grounded which encourages a good working position and an optimization of concentration. You can therefore place it on the thighs of the child who has to do his homework or a craft. manimo also provide comfort and reduce anxiety. They are the faithful companions of your coconuts who need a friend to calm them down. And as with the doggies, it’s great to snug with them for bedtime!
I highly recommend them.
Conclusion : I want ten of them!
