First, I have used rice for weighted blankets/snakes for years. The key is the washable covering. Just don't get organic material wet... Our classroom has these weighted tools available but they don't always meet the needs of students. I see much more investigation in my future. Thank you to EVERYONE for suggestions and support!!!
