This
adorable Posture Pal Orangutan helps children improve posture while
practicing their handwriting or keyboarding skills. Children are encouraged to
hold the russet brown orangutan between the table (or desk) and themselves,
which helps them sit up straighter. The orangutan measures 8” tall, 6” deep,
and is oh so soft and cuddly!
Publisher's Description of Posture Pal: Orangutan
Place these cute little animals between your desk and your stomach to promote good posture!
To prevent them from being dropped, use your abdomen to keep these
soft and cute animals upright on your desk. Holding your Posture Pal
firmly (without squashing them!) helps good posture by elongating your
back muscles. Their soft fur and soulful expressions are also soothing
while you answer emails!
These little
stuffed critters have a unique purpose – to get your child to sit up straight
in a clever way. As they sit at a desk or table, the child holds the animal against
the table with their chest/abdomen. The arc of the animals gives more cushion
than a typical stuffed toy. It feels like a little friend doing school work
with you! Good posture is essential for skills such as handwriting and
keyboarding. Each is about 8” tall, 6” deep, and oh so soft and cuddly! They
have button eyes and a sewn nose.
