Over time, the Klissing Sensory Egg has become a popular recreational and developmental tool for neurotypical children as well.

Children naturally seek hiding places; this egg provides a comforting, womb-like space, offering a sense of security and protection.
The ability to retreat and find solitude is crucial, regardless of a child’s temperament. In today’s fast-paced, information-rich world, this downtime is essential. The Klissing Egg allows children to disconnect from external stimuli, process information, and return refreshed and ready to engage.
Play & Activity Ideas:
- Gently rock the egg, using the handles like a swing.
- Allow the child to hide inside and observe the world through a small opening (ensure easy exit).
- Encourage rolling, turning, and movement within the egg to stimulate vestibular and tactile senses.
- Provide a calming space for quiet time and self-regulation, beneficial for both introverted and extroverted children.
- Play “astronaut,” gently rotating the egg.
