Duckie,one of my fav toys.

a

When people ask me how I chose which toys I give to children and why  I tell them I try to zone into what the child needs or wants and go from there. And most things can be a child's toy.  For example If a child likes to crinkle things I will get them every type of paper I can get my hands on to work on motor control.

In the case of this duck,  my darling Baby Girl like many children with sensory issues likes consent vibration. It calms her, and distracts her, whether we're at the doctor, or  PT which like most infants she doesn't love.

Knowing this thought where can I get a toy that vibrates constantly, as she get even more upset when she's calming down and vibrating stops. I looked online and found some great toys however nothing quite, what I was looking for.
I thought why can't I place a small motor inside one or her toys to make it move, that idea warped into "why not but a cheap vibrator and sew it inside a stuff animal". I have been off doing just this when at the "toy" store the lovely young lady who was helping me ( I had to explain this was for a child with sensory issues)  pointed out this toy to me, "its water proof as its supposed to be used in the bath and it looks like a child's toy so it should do the trick" she said with a grin.
Baby Girl loves Ducky, we take it with us to every doctors visit, PT session, OT session and long trip. It calms her down during some of her BAD melt downs. And entertains her when she's just crawling around.

  Ducky  takes 1 AAA battery and lasts for about a week of constant use. 
The product is called---Travel-Size, I Rub My Duckie  
Simply enter that into your search engines and you can avoid the porn sites, and raunchy adds.  
 Both  Walgreens.com and Amazon have it for $12.69
Also for an extra bonus the duck fits nicely inside A Sleep sheep if you take the sound box out, then you will have that soft vibrating toy I was originally after.
