Soothing Heart - in-wood

Perfect for Separation Anxiety. The heart's purpose is to support, connect and strengthen love. For a range of different needs, age groups and social situations.

Super soft to the touch and perfect for spatial and hand-eye co-ordination and sensory play thanks to different textures and surfaces built into the design.

This piece is ideal for any separation situation from separated families, siblings, childcare workers, schools, kindies and preschools to FIFO workers and more.

The person leaving takes the inside of the heart with them so they have a piece of “home or family” with them and when they return places it back inside the heart like a charging station for love. Great for creating a bit of ceremony to symbolise unity again.

Made from FSC Certified aged blue gum and spotted gum.

Comes boxed and includes a seed paper so you can give back to the Earth.

Size: 10 x 7.5 x 1.5 cm

We welcome you to our Soothing heart. Embrace it.

This beautiful sensory puzzle piece is designed to keep us always connected to our hearts and the ones we love and it is especially to soothe and support our loved ones who are feeling anxious and need support with separation anxiety.

It's never easy to say goodbye or leave our children when they are distressed so the Soothing Heart can provide them with some extra strength and trust knowing that they are always connected to their special heart that is close to the ones they love.

This can also be a beautiful way to stay connected to loved ones that live far away or when a family member travels away for work.

The main piece of the heart is the "charging station" and is holding all the energy love and strength of the family so that the centre piece or the "key" can be taken with them to help feel strong and safe to leave the house knowing they are always connected and have the centre of the heart with them. The main piece has a soft rubbing circle to rub and touch to send love and fill the heart up.

We have added holes to the centre key to thread through a sensory satin ribbon or thread to add as an extra comfort tool. Recycled paper string is provided.

The soothing heart confirms to them that they are strong, resilient, independent and that their loved ones are always close inside their hearts.

As a family you can create your own stories around how the heart can best be used to draw each other's love and strength.

About the Company

This range has been created with a mindful approach to purposeful play. Whether appealing to the child's focus or their emotional state and communicative understanding, it is designed to connect to their intention and well-being.

While certainly designed with children in mind, the creators wanted to provide a medium that no matter the age of the person there is room for self expression.

The range is designed and made in Australia using FSC Certified Australian aged timbers. Each piece is hand dyed using mineral oils and child and food safe pigment dyes. Importantly the life of the grain and the timber is clearly visible in every piece's angle and shapes.

All packaging has been approached in a mindful manner with re-use recycle materials towards a cleaner environment.

Every decision made in the making of these products comes from the heart and to tread safely on this planet.
