Bringing children comfort
Helping children pay attention and focus
Calming excess energy
Being invaluable helpers for parents (and all who work with children)

These lovable companions are a comfort to children both in times of stress and when relaxing. They can be used at all times and in almost all places:

At home (naptime, homework, bedtime, to settle down)
At school (to relax and concentrate)
Before or during a school or after-school activity (ease anxiety before or during class)
Before or during an outing, family activity or appointment (non-recurring anxiety-inducing event)
