When children are on a computer for extended periods, it is
easy to slouch. Placing the Posture Pet between their tummy and the table
encourages them to sit up straighter. It’s a cute idea that actually works! The
extra-arched back gives a bit more cushion than a traditional stuffie. Machine
washable. ~Sara

Publisher's Description of Posture Pet - Dog
Promote good posture habits with adorable Posture Pets. They are
designed to help kids develop healthy seating behavior while reading,
writing, or studying.
PROMOTE GOOD POSTURE:
By placing the cute plush animal between the stomach or chest and the
edge of a desk or table, kids naturally learn to sit up straight. The
Posture Pet will fall if the child slouches, encouraging them to
maintain an upright position
COMFORTABLE AND PRACTICAL: These
posture correctors are designed for use at school, home, and even while
traveling. They help elongate the back muscles, leading to a natural
and healthy posture
LIFETIME HABITS: Posture Pets help children develop good seating habits that support healthy growth and development
CUDDLY: Made
from soft, plush materials, these posture correctors double as loveable
companions, making the process of forming good habits enjoyable for
kids
CONVENIENT: Lightweight
and easy to use, simply place the Posture Pet between the child's tummy
or chest and the desk. Its compact size makes it easy to take and use
anywhere
PERFECT GIFT: Posture Pets are thoughtful presents for birthdays, holidays, or as back-to-school essentials
DURABLE AND EASY TO CLEAN: Made
from high-quality materials, Posture Pets are built to last. They are
machine washable with gentle detergent on the delicate setting. Tumble
dry on low or air dry
Designed to
help children sit up straight at a desk by holding the animal against the table
with their tummy. Each stuffed animal has a particular arch to their backs,
unlike a regular teddy bear. Hands are free to read a book, write in a
notebook, or use a mouse/keyboard. The cute animal options add a sense of fun
and ownership, and petting their animal adds a soothing sensory benefit too!
These are a bit smaller than the Posture Pals at only 6” x4”.
