where would i get a weighted plushie?
Several places, anon! It depends a little on where you’re located, but there options available both off and online with varying degrees of DIY needed.
@dragonadventurescrafting has made a range of different weighted plush in all sorts of styles (dogs, cats, Tsum-Tsum-like sea bunnies) and some are even scented! Her store is here (currently on break, however) and her tag is here, if you want to see the kinds of weighted toys she’s made that have been previously featured on this blog. Items ships worldwide from the US.
In the smaller, palm-size/pocket scale, @stimtastic sells the Weighted Sparkly Crab, $3.90 USD and the Weighted Sparkly Stingray, also $3.90 USD. The crab has been reviewed here.
Also in this scale, @caseydickdanger sells palm-sized Emoji plush (linked on this post here) for $20-$25 USD.
Wheat Heat Bags often come in plush animal cases. This post details where you can find them in Aussie department stores Big W and K-Mart, but you are likely able to find something similar in local department stores. These are really great because they don’t require any modification to turn them into a weighted plush toy and they’re full-size, huggable soft toys.
You can find a broad range of incredibly cute plush heat bag animals on Amazon by manufacturer Intelex, ranging from $16.50 to $22 USD each. There’s a frog, owls, a hippo, an elephant, a cow…
You also might like to check out Etsy sellers Sensory Stuffies and Southern Lites Gifts, both of which stock weighted plush animals. (Both ship from the US.)
If you’re more into DIY and thinking you wish to turn a regular soft toy into a weighted soft toy, or make a simple weighted plush from scratch, check out these tutorials we’ve reblogged: one | two | three | four.
If this doesn’t cover your region, anon, let me know and I’ll see if I can find sources closer to home. I think the best bet are the plush animal wheat heat bags. The Intelex ones are so gorgeous!
