Our Mixed up naturals collection is a wonderful addition to the Kaiko Pick 'Em range. It can be used as a refill set or stand alone pack of 3. They are designed as a support for those that delight in 'extraction' & and/or struggle with picking & popping. Those that have tried them in the sample phase have been surprised at how long & satisfying the 'extraction process' actually is! We have intentionally designed their size as a small, portable tool for anywhere use.
The crystals, shells and pebble stones can be popped out, picked out with nails or you can use the tweezers to extract. Can then be repurposed after they are out. Squishing the pad is quite satisfying both with stones still in and also when removed. (See note re Trypophobia below though). The Silicone, even after items removed, makes for a great sensory stim tool.
The stones, crystals and shells, once removed, can be added into our Put 'Em Clear Putty (available separately) to create an alternate picking support tool, which allows you to use the contents again and again.
The immersive experience involves focus, digging, resistance, satisfaction & (personally speaking) sheer delight. Warning: can be hard to stop once starting grin. See videos of it in action also. Hands get a good work out, so helpful to rest from time to time. Great for mindfulness, regulation and calming. Squishing the silicone, even after stones removed, more many is satisfying.
This stack comes with 3 discs – each with different materials.
Disc 1 : Natural mixed crystals
Disc 2 : Natural pebble stones
Disc 3 : Coloured natural polished shell fragments. Being flatter in shape they provide a different 'feel' as you tug/pull.
Each of the silicone discs contain items with purpose in mind. In addition to being pure JOY for many, there is a more serious side to this genuine sensory seeking behaviour. Picking skin & hair pulling can be a form of stimming sometimes referred to as body-focused repetitive behaviour & super common, especially for those, like me, that are neurodivergent. It can be a sensory self-regulation behaviour, stim or part of repetitive ‘loop’. It can lead to compromised skin, bald patches, risk of infection, scars, shame and distress. It can also be a challenge to stop, even when harmful. Which is why we have a focus on having a range of tools to assist in supporting this sensory need.
These are single use, however will likely surprise you as to how long they take to do.
Safety Information: Please note this kit is not a toy and should be used for the purposes intended. The silicone is single use and should not be reheated.
