A steady presence for hard moments
The Grounding Groundhog is a weighted sensory plush made for teens and adults who live with anxiety, sensory processing differences, or emotional dysregulation. Its gentle weight settles into your lap or against your chest, and two soft paw buttons play guided breathing and grounding exercises, a calm voice to follow when your own thoughts are moving too fast. A quiet fidget zipper on the front gives restless hands somewhere to go. Patent pending. Independently lab tested to CPSIA and ASTM F963, the standards that govern toy safety in the US. Lead, phthalates, and heavy metals: all non-detect. Flammability tested well under the federal limit. It's labeled 3+, but tested to the stricter 0+ standard, the toughest choking-hazard bar there is.
How it works
Press one paw to breathe
A recorded breathing exercise paces you through slow inhales and exhales, so you don't have to remember how. Just follow along.
Press the other to ground
A guided grounding exercise gently brings your attention back to the present, step by step.
Weight that settles you
Around three pounds of evenly distributed weight offers the deep-pressure comfort of a weighted blanket, in a form you can hold.
“For years, I struggled with panic attacks and severe anxiety. Breathing techniques can help, but in the moment, I found it hard to relax enough to focus on them.
I wished I had something that could gently guide me through it, like a calm, reassuring friend.
That's why I created the Grounding Groundhog. A steady, comforting presence when you need it most.”
