Worry Worms and small Amigurumi – GOGS Vax Toy Challenge 2022

These palm sized ‘Worry Worms’, ‘Worry Whales, ‘Calming Caterpillars’, Stress-less Sharks’ and many other small soft, squishy and stretchy fiddle toys are being used at our Covid Vaccination Clinics for our anxious or scared 5-11yr olds. Contact us if you would like to join our Covid Vax Toy Challenge!

Footy Team Coloured Rugs

Sporting team colours and in particular football team colours are always a huge hit and in demand!

These fiddle toys have so many uses. They are used to comfort children, distract during procedures, provide a confused patient with a source of sensory outlet rather then pulling at lines.
They are given to children visiting patients in ICU that may be feeling overwhelmed and are also given to patients who may be having a bad day and need a little positive mascot to cheer them up.

Gogsters

Our Gogsters help provide comfort care to patients. We find that the different textures of wool and different tones of colour are a great source of comfort for patients seeking sensory calm in an overwhelming technical ward.

Shawls and Scarves

Twisty Shawls or scarves – These give long term ICU and Aged Care patients with the opportunity to stay warm when they are taken out onto the ICU Balcony in the cooler months.
