Calming Movement Kit

Three tools that give a child somewhere to go, something to do and something to settle under — whatever the moment needs.

Some children need to move before they can be still. The Calming Movement Kit puts together the three deep-pressure tools we reach for most often, so a calm corner at home or school is ready on day one.

What's in the kit

• Sensory Compression Lycra Swing — somewhere to go. The stretchy fabric wraps around the body while it rocks, giving steady pressure and gentle movement at the same time. Many children climb in on their own when they feel the day getting too much.
• Sensory Compression Tunnel — something to do. Crawling through the stretchy tunnel is heavy work for the whole body: pushing, pulling and squeezing that helps a busy nervous system settle. Fun enough that children ask for it.
• Weighted Lap Pad — something to settle under. Across the legs at the desk, on the sofa or in the car, its even weight helps a child stay seated and focused. Short, regular use works best.

How families use it

Swing or tunnel first to let the body move, then the lap pad for homework, reading or screen time. Five to ten minutes of movement before a sit-down task is often the difference between a child who can and a child who can't.

Good to know

• Swing suits children up to about 60 kg; it needs a secure ceiling hook or swing frame (hardware sold separately).
• Tunnel and lap pad covers wipe clean; the swing is machine-washable on a gentle cycle.
• Chosen by Jennifer Bradley, occupational therapist and founder of Made2Motivate.
• Free UAE shipping — this kit qualifies on its own.
