Cuddlebuddies
Plush Friends with Comfort Coins to Help Kids Manage Big Feelings
Big feelings can be hard for little ones to handle. Whether a child is feeling angry, frightened, lonely, or embarrassed, Cuddlebuddies offer a comforting way to find a little calm and confidence.
Each Cuddlebuddy is a soft, lovable plush animal that comes with four wooden Comfort Coins. Each coin features a positive affirmation designed to help children navigate a different emotion.
Cuddlebuddies introduce children to three simple calming techniques:
- Repetitive motion: Handling and turning the coins provides a soothing activity.
- Positive affirmations: Encouraging words help children replace negative thoughts with reassuring ones.
- Soft tactile comfort: A cuddly plush friend offers something soft and comforting to hold.
The four Comfort Coins help children:
- Calm themselves when they feel angry or upset.
- Find courage when they are afraid.
- Remember they are loved when they feel lonely.
- Feel better about themselves when they are embarrassed or ashamed.
Each Cuddlebuddy comes with a pouch for the coins and an instruction card explaining how to use them. Parents also receive an informative insert explaining the ideas behind the product and how these simple techniques can help children develop emotional self-regulation.
A Cuddlebuddy is more than a stuffed animal. It’s a comforting friend and a practical little tool for learning how to handle life’s ups and downs.
