HeartWise Hug-to-Calm Octopus

🐙 HeartWise Calming Octopus Plush — A Comfort Friend for Big Feelings

Available in 4 colours • 4 sizes

When little hearts feel overwhelmed, worried, or just need a gentle friend, our HeartWise Calming Octopus Plush is there to help. With its soft, weighted body and comforting design, this cuddly octopus becomes a soothing companion children can hold, talk to, and lean on during emotional moments.

More than a plush toy — it’s a heart-supporting friend that helps children feel safe, understood, and calm.

💛 How It Nurtures Emotional Intelligence

✔ Supports Self-Regulation

The octopus’s gentle, squeezable body helps children release tension, slow their breathing, and settle their nervous system — an essential foundation for emotional regulation.

✔ Encourages Emotional Expression

Children naturally talk to soft toys. This octopus becomes a safe “listener,” helping kids practice expressing feelings like sadness, worry, frustration, or joy.

✔ Builds Comfort & Security

Having a “friend” to hold gives children a sense of safety and reassurance — especially during transitions, bedtime, or new experiences.

✔ Teaches Empathy & Kindness

Caring for the octopus encourages nurturing behaviour, supporting the development of empathy and compassionate thinking.

✔ Promotes Connection & Calm

Parents and caregivers can use the plush as part of a calming routine:
“Let’s take deep breaths with your octopus.”
“Can you show your octopus how you’re feeling?”

These simple moments build emotional vocabulary and parent-child connection.
