Pause with Panda is an emotional and self-regulation tool for children. Panda guides children through brief, audible exercises called “Pauses”, helping children learn to pause, identify and respond to their thoughts, feelings and bodies. Because each child is unique, Pause with Panda syncs with an adult companion app letting parents customize and update which Pauses are stored on Panda, view usage stats and battery levels, and even record a Pause themselves.
Evaluation comments:
“The adorable panda stuffed animal was immediately loved by both my girls. It’s very sweet and soft, perfect for cuddling with at bedtime. I like the voice that narrates the “pauses” and the app interface that pairs with the toy.”
“The quality of Pause with Panda is impressive. The plush material is soft and durable. It can withstand love and cuddles from young kids. The stitching is solid, and the buttons on the paws, ears, and heart are responsive and easy for kids to operate. The rechargeable battery is easy to charge and eliminates the hassle of replacing batteries while being environmentally friendly.”
“Well-designed toy for calming kids down. My kids enjoy interacting with the panda and pressing the different button options. The calming sounds provide a soothing backdrop for quiet time or winding down before bed. The added element of the app allows you to personalize the experience.”
“What I love most as a parent is the overall calming experience that the panda provides. My children love the softness of the panda and found the buttons easy to press, which allows them to play independently. I haven’t tried it yet, however the ability to record my own messages for them adds a personal touch.”
“The panda plush itself is very cute. The most noticeable thing about it is how lightweight it is. You can’t really tell there is a battery inside of it. The plush is a nice, huggable size.”
“The quality of the content is great. There is over 2 hours of content and it’s a diverse set ranging from focus, movement, calm down, and more. The voice is pleasant and speaks at a nice pace. Overall, this is a nice companion to help kids take a break and regulate their emotions themselves without the use of screens.”
“I love the easy-to-use features and quality of the content.”
