  • Another project from Fathering Autism, a DIY weighted lap pad. People with autism often enjoy the weight and pressure of heavy lap pads and weighted blankets. This is a DIY lap pad that adds a sensory play aspect to it.

    Haha yes, this was definitely worth watching for the personality.
    Awww, look at Isaiah's face when dad mentions he has a girlfriend, that's so cute!
    That pillowcase is pretty fantastic. I'm sure Abbie will love it :)
    I'm teaching special ed again next year but in a different school, no idea what kind of kids I will be teaching until I meet them at the end of January. I will totally know how to make a weighted pillow if I need to now. I've made glitter calm down jars and fidget spinners with my current multi-cat class (some are on the spectrum but their main issues are ADHD, ODD and mental health), which they loved. Had my last day with them yesterday, I'm going to miss them!

    This was awesome! Educational, entertaining and inspiring... off to make myself one similar for my needy restless little chicken legs... but instead of mermaid skin.... lots of beads, yarn, fabric and whatever else I can attach for sensory fidgety fun!

    YEEESSS!!!! My son will LOVE this, and I didn't even think of using this when he's in the car. That is a terrific idea.

    aha that diss to isaiah at the beginning about having no money because of his girlfriend ....my husband can relate....he was learning to drive (in the UK) until i came along and then he spent all his money on train tickets to come visit me. 2 1/2 years on and he still can't drive but we are married so you win some you loose some!.
    Loving this creative Christmas gift too!

    Hmmm think I could do this on a much larger scale..... say with a duvet cover maybe????? I’d probably use the gallon bags in that case.... annnnnd a lot of em! Ha! Annnnnd perhaps instead of a towel- a few yards of fleece material or something like it??? My crafty brain is on overdrive now and I really want to make myself a weighted blanket!

    Thanks for this. It is very useful. I was looking for one to make a weighted pillow/cushion for a student.

    I made a similar lap pad a while ago using rice and sandwich ziploc bags. It's a bit noisy though. Crinkly. I love the idea of adding padding with a towel! I may add that to mine to make it softer and slightly heavier. Also love the colour changing case - I would be constantly playing with that.. may have to get one!
