The Moodies
Your little one has Big Feelings but only small words to describe them. When
those words fail them, it triggers frustration and meltdowns. The Moodies are an all-in-one toy & book that makes it
easy to earn about and communicate Big Feelings.
Teach awareness and positive expression with Elliot, Frida, Penny, & their friends!
Each Cuddly Storybook Friend was crafted along with
early childhood development experts.

Use the Moodie’s story in your real life! See how brave Frida was? You can be brave, too!
So often, children are punished for being human. They are not allowed to have grumpy moods, bad days, disrespectful tones, or bad attitudes. Yet, we adults have them all the time. None of us are perfect. We must stop holding our children to a higher standard of perfection than we can attain ourselves.
