What ages is NeriPlay for?
Designed for ages 2–8, though many older children with autism continue to use it for self-regulation. Ages 2–3 focus on texture exploration and velcro. Ages 3–5 on buttons, zippers, and PECS. Ages 5–7 on sequencing and independence. Ages 7+ as a self-soothing and fidget tool.
How is this different from busy books on Etsy or Amazon?
Generic busy books are designed for neurotypical toddlers — bright, busy, high-stimulation. Ours is engineered for children with autism: predictable layouts, sensory-calibrated textures, PECS-compatible visuals, and zero noise. Co-developed with three pediatric OTs who specialize in autism.
Is it safe for sensory-sensitive kids?
Yes. Every material is hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and tested to ASTM F963 and EN71 standards. The felt is soft wool-blend (no synthetics), and there are no small detachable parts. Safe for mouthing.
Can it be washed?
Yes. Gentle cycle, cold water, air dry. The felt and stitching are designed to withstand regular washing.
What if my child doesn't engage with it?
60-day no-questions guarantee. Use it, test it, let your child explore. If it doesn't work, send it back and we'll refund every dollar including return shipping.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes — 40+ countries. Standard international: 7–12 business days. Express: 3–5 days. Free standard shipping worldwide on orders over $75.
