Special Needs



The Borris plush Toy is a chew-safe soft toy designed in a way that acknowledges the needs of children with Sensory Processing Disorder and Autism. Many children with unique sensory needs desire mouth and chew objects for oral motor input. Most plush toys are unsafe to chew on--and as a result, many parents are reluctant to give them to their sensory seeking children. Borris is made of chew safe, non-toxic materials, constructed with reinforced seaming, and a double layer of canvas and bonded plush. Having a favorite plush toy is an important part of childhood. Soft® is committed to a balance between a durable, chew safe toy, and a product that is still soft, endearing,and cuddly.
