I’m an autism mom from Ontario, and also a supplier/shipper of poly pellets, the material used to add weight to therapeutic weighted items. I wonder if you would consider adding my information to your list of resources so that parents or blanket makers that want to source high-grade, low cost pellets can reach out to me. I’m on FB as Poly Pellets Ontario for Weighted Blankets, or my email is PolyPellets@outlook.com. Thank you for your consideration.

Hello. We would love to be considered for this list. We are a small Canadian-owned company with a toy product that we believe can bring a lot of values to families. It is an 11 piece giant soft building toy comprised of various shaped cushions that can be built into various structures such as fort, tunnels, a couch, etc. The fabric is a soft micro-suede that is completely removable and washable, with waterproof liners underneath to protect the foam.
