Weighted lap pads for kids with sensory needs are ridiculously expensive. Prohibitively expensive for many, I suppose. I've seen them retail for more than $50. For a pillow stuffed with poly pellets or even pebbles. That's just insane. So, I made one for my son's classroom for, well, free. I already had fabric and BPA-free pellets. It only took about 10 minutes. For another 10 minutes of work, I made a pillowcase-style cover for the pellet bag, so it's washable. I think it turned out pretty ok.
