An integrated SEL approach to help children learn about and manage feelings.
Kimochis...Toys with Feelings Inside® are award-winning educational toys designed to help children learn about, understand and manage their feelings, giving school aged children a voice and the ability to express themselves. Supported by ACER and voted best new educational toy in 2010, the collection of seven multi award-winning, engaging Kimochis® characters, their 29 expressive ‘feelings’ pillows, and professional School Curriculum are designed to get children talking, promoting strong parent-child and peer to peer connections, and encourage children to express themselves, building self-esteem, confidence and resilience.
Supporting our national educational focus on emotional intelligence and social emotional learning, the Kimochis® Educator's Tool Kit and Curriculum sold out to Australian schools in their first eight weeks and is now running successfully in close to 100 schools.
Helping children develop a ‘feelings vocabulary’ and emotional literacy, Kimochis® provide ‘teachable moments’ around emotions, conflict resolution and social interaction, through the seven keys to communication and the BIG 5 interventions. With sections on early childhood, primary and Special Edu, it’s the practical ideas on creating a Kimochis® classroom of empathy, tolerance, independence and perseverance that supports teachers working for compassionate, respectful, responsible and resilient children. The curriculum provides a step by step guide to learning about ‘feeling-driven’ behaviours leading to better and safer behavioural choices and better educational outcomes for children, teachers, parents and the full school community.
