Thanks.
Our quilt club makes them for autistic kids. We use Fairfield plastic pellets. They are heavy and washable. I have heard of people using beans or rice, but those would not be washable. I have included directions as to how we make them. I had to save it in a different format (doc) so hope it comes through okay; it doesn't even show I have an attachement, so don't know.
