I did an online search for "autism sensory toys" (just out of curiosity to see what's out there, since I've mostly been improvising in dealing with sensory issues/cravings) and found out that they make a Tangle Jr toy that's covered in fuzz/flocking just like my Calico Critter, Miss Important! I love fuzzy textures, and I'd love something to stim with that can be worn as a bracelet or accessory (not that my stones aren't inconspicuous as well) so I'll definitely keep this in mind!

Just thought I'd share with others who are in the market for sensory items and like fuzzy things too. :D

Oh yeah I have one of those. Did not know the name of it because has been out of the box for along time.
What I also like is microfiber. Have a microfiber robe and blanket.
Am told when I was little I used to pull chunks of fur from my teddy bear and rub the fur under my nose while sucking my thumb. So I have a completely bald teddy poor thing.

Yeah, I had a Fuzzy Tangle Jr. It seems like a silly little thing that you can't do much with, but when it first arrived in the mail I spent 40 minutes just playing with it (doing nothing else). Then I finally went back to work... while continuing to play with the Tangle. I wish I was kidding.
