Sensory sensitivities occur when kids need a certain amount of stimulus–but also not too much stimulus–just to feel right in their skin. And when they don’t, it can lead to anything from a loss of attention to complete meltdowns. Some kids have tested as being on the autism spectrum. Others may always be scratching at their clothing tags, or just can’t seem to sit still.
Now, Target is releasing a new collection–as part of Pillowfort, the company’s line of whimsical kids furniture–designed specifically for those kids. Available online now with prices that range from $20 to $100, the approximately 20-item collection includes the sorts of adorable items you’d expect in Pillowfort, like a pineapple rug or an indoor tent built to hold a desk. But with muted hues, soft-yet-tangible textures, and plenty of items meant to move or even be tackled, it’s designed specifically to accommodate the senses: To offer safety and reassurance, but also respond to the needs of more stimulation on demand.
