Imagine a world in which every child has the opportunity to learn and practice positive communication habits. When students can communicate their feelings effectively, they build confidence, self-esteem and strong relationships.

Kimochi (pronounced KEY-MO-CHEE) means “feeling” in Japanese. Fun and powerful communication tools, Kimochis™ characters come with small pillows with a feeling (happy, sad, silly, brave…) printed on one side, and a corresponding facial expression on the other. Students can hold, hug or squeeze one of these colorful characters and talk through what they are feeling. Plus, each character has a special pocket where kids can store the included Kimochis™ feelings because emotions can change quickly!

Bug is a caterpillar who is afraid of change. He is thoughtful, cautious and has secret dreams of flying. When Bug is feeling brave you can spread his wings! When he is feeling afraid you can tuck his wings away in the pocket on his back. Features a how-to Kimochis™ Feel Guide, introducing the personalities of each character and offering parents or educators easy tips and engaging activities to help strengthen adult-child connections and teach children to identify and express feelings in a positive way.

Includes Happy, Brave and Left Out feelings pillows and 48 page Feel Guide. Character measures 13". Box measures 9" x 13" x 4.5".
