My Moody Monster is a thoughtfully designed emotional regulation toy that helps children identify, understand and express their feelings in a healthy way. Combining tactile play with visual learning, My Moody Monster offers a safe outlet for big emotions—whether a child is feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or just needs a moment to calm down. Children are introduced to My Moody Monster through a simple, engaging video that explains emotions in a way they can easily understand, reinforcing the idea that it’s okay to feel big emotions as long as we manage them effectively.
Our testers found that while some children initially interacted with My Moody Monster as a typical toy—pulling it apart and exploring its pieces—over time they began to use it with intention. Many children started reaching for My Moody Monster during difficult moments, learning to self-advocate and communicate their needs more clearly. Parents appreciated the supporting resources, including a video and leaflet for adults, which helped them introduce the toy and guide their children in using it effectively. A really helpful resource for encouraging empathy, emotional awareness and communication in both individual and group settings.
