Pawz, The Calming Pup by hand2mind is a calming companion teaching kids ages three and older how to manage their emotions through social-emotional learning (SEL). Kids practice mindfulness and breath awareness with this pup’s auto-adjusting light that guides children through engaging breath activities; inhaling when the light gets brighter and exhaling as the light fades. Along the way, kids are exposed to the nuances of social-emotional learning as Pawz encourages them to be fully present and bring awareness to their thoughts and feelings. Pawz The Calming Pup also doubles as a night light, glowing in five colors, and has different timer options for a calming bedtime routine. Priced around $20 on Amazon.
