Sand-Filled Fabric Reptiles (12 Pack)

Sand-Filled Fabric Reptiles (12 Pack) add a hands-on sensory twist to crafting with soft, squishy animals kids love to decorate, squeeze, and keep.

Turn Sensory Play Into a Creative Keepsake

These sand-filled fabric reptiles instantly stand out from ordinary crafts. Each animal has a soft fabric exterior and a gently weighted feel that makes it satisfying to hold, squeeze, and explore.
