What are Kimochis?:

My Thoughts:
I was sent the Bella Rose Kimochi for my daughter.  You should have seen the smile on my daughter’s face when I too Bella Rose out of the box and handed it to her.
image
Bella Rose is sensitive and sweet. Being sensitive can be a blessing, but sometimes it can be a challenge. When Bella Rose's feelings get hurt, she tends to close up. Bella Rose comes with three feelings: Happy, Sensitive, Insecure. 
Like Bella Rose, each 13” Kimochi plush character comes with 3 feelings, along with a 64 page Feel Guide, to help teach your children about feelings and how to properly manage them.  The Feel Guide also comes with fun and easy activities that you child can do, that are centered around feelings.
I just love the concept of the Kimochi plush. One of the most difficult things a child learns is how to manage their feelings. These Kimochi plush characters, along with their feeling pillows are a great way to teach young children about different emotions and how to express them.  With a  variety of Kimochi pillows, where a feeling is printed on one side and the corresponding facial expression on the other, you and your child will enjoy talking opening about how your child feels in different scenarios, and let them know that it is ok to share and feel their emotions with you, but sometimes they need to know that feeling sad or mad is not normal, and that you are there to make them feel better and have a more positive attitude.  See, how great is that?  I don’t know many toys out there are teach children about emotions in such a fun and interactive way.
A Kimochi plush would make for a great holiday gift, as well as one to share with your child all year long.
