Action-reaction toys to stay with yourself

I also received the Touchimal Horse from Tanja from the webshop Toys42hands.

Action: stroking – reaction: sound

A beautifully made and pleasantly feeling cuddly toy with a beautiful name. Touchimal, composed of touche - to touch and animal - animal.
By stroking his head and back he makes different horse sounds. Just like with the cuddle recorder, there is a reaction to something you do. In contrast to the cuddle recorder, he does not react to every touch. But mainly by stroking or giving firm pressure in his neck and on his back. That provokes you to cuddle him and hold him firmly against you in different ways.

On lap during work

For example, you can put it on your lap when you are sitting. Because you regularly shift, sit up straighter or make other movements, the pressure on the horse changes and it reacts to that . Also leaning on the horse with your hands or arms causes a reaction. I think many children like to keep the cuddly toy on their lap while they are doing a job at a table.

Relaxing – staying with yourself

The sounds and the pleasant feel of the cuddly toy, together with picking it up, stroking it and holding it tightly against you, mean that the cuddly toy can help to calm down. Many children will like this cuddly toy. But for children who quickly get lost in all kinds of distractions, the cuddly toy can possibly help to stay more with themselves.

Widely applicable

Just as with the previously described cuddly toy recorder, there are probably also older children or adults with intellectual disabilities , and elderly people with dementia who would enjoy this cuddly toy.

There are various animals available to order in the webshop.
