Cuddle Me Happy Cushions

Cuddle-Me-Happy cushions have been designed for a variety of classroom or one-to-one uses but have the added 'street-cred' for those of us who think we are too old for Teddy!

As a 'talking object' they work particularly well with less-confident children as they not only act as a 'safety barrier' but are just the right size to cuddle and squeeze for comfort.

For separation anxiety, ask the child to fill up the cushion with love/comfort and tell him/her to squeeze little out every time he/she feels it's needed. ( For example; if a child does not want a parent to leave, ask the parent to fill the cushion up with enough love to last for the school day and a couple of hours on top so the child wont run out of love! )

Use as an affirmation tool by discussing with the children exactly what the cushion front says and what that means for them or just use them in the sensory room for something to cuddle.
