For grown-ups

The Calm Crew

At the end of our picture book Foo's Big Emotions, Foo's friends show him how they calm down. Blue jumps rope, Bubbly blows bubbles, Gooey squishes slime, Flo paints and Muse listens to music. Then the book asks: everyone has a different way to calm down. Do you? Here your child tries each friend's way for about thirty seconds and finds their own.

For the grown-up

Email the calm plan, to print later

We send the plan as a PDF: two pages, the plan and eight calm cards to cut out. Your child's name is never sent to us, so this plan says “My calm plan” and your child writes their name on it.

How it works

Press start and turn the sound on. A gentle voice guides each friend: jump along with Blue, breathe slowly to blow Bubbly's bubbles, squish Gooey's slime, paint with Flo, and listen to the book's own music with Muse. It takes about four minutes, and the friends at the top of the screen go straight to any of them.

A calm plan to keep

Your child picks the way that felt best. Type their name and a two page PDF is made right here: their own calm plan, and eight calm cards to cut out, on A4 or US Letter. The name stays on your phone or tablet: it is never sent anywhere. To print it later, we can email you the plan without the name.

Nothing to set up

No app, no sign-up and no microphone: it only plays, it never listens. Try it together on a calm day, so the plan is ready when a big feeling comes.
