Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Workbook for Kids Stuffed Animals
The Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Workbook for Kids really comes alive when kids can hold and interact with the Feelings and Resilience Habit stuffed animals!
These animals support role play, emotional literacy, and co-regulation. Young kids especially benefit from having something tangible to hold while practicing noticing feelings, offering kindness, and taking helpful action. Educators and caregivers use these animals during stories, partner activities, and playful resilience practices throughout the workbook series. Kids also love holding their animal while reading the workbook and sharing the animal quotes, which helps bring the lessons into their bodies, not just their minds.
Many school districts require purchasing through Amazon, so I’ve linked the animals there for convenience. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you prefer to support a small business, you can find the same animals through Stuffed Safari using this list.
