How it works

One button. That's the whole manual.

No app, no screen, no set-up. It works the moment it comes out of the box.

  1. 1
    Press once

    A soft press wakes your Pal and starts the 4-7-8 pattern.

  2. 2
    Follow the colours

    Blue to breathe in and the light grows, purple to hold, green to breathe out. Press again for 4-4-4-4 focus or 5-5 relax.

  3. 3
    Switch to night light

    One more press and your Pal settles into night-light mode, then switches itself off after two hours.

A tap on your Pal changes the brightness — that works in every mode. Rechargeable over USB-C, about 20 hours a charge.

Big feelings

Mid-meltdown, "calm down" rarely lands. A light to follow gives small hands something to do while their body catches up.

  • Something to hold and squeeze
  • Works before, during and after the storm

    Really Cute, Easy To Follow Breathing Guide For Stress Relief

    I have wanted to try breathing exercises to lower my resting heart rate. This breathing tool is ideal as it uses color coding to instruct when to inhale, hold and exhale. Additionally, it is cute as well, (would also suit children). The little squishy bear, (really soft), also doubles as a night light.It comes with a standard USB-C charging cable, (power block not included). When it is not being used, I have it on display in my home office.As tried, this is easy to follow breathing guide tool, (a bit harder than I thought to have to hold between inhale and exhale). I believe routine use will be beneficial for overall wellness, to calm oneself and relieve anxiety.

    Great for kids learning self-regulation

    I work in schools and students love the breathing bear! It’s a great way to help teach self-regulation, and easy to use as a model for adults. Double the benefit. Soft and colorful with different settings. Easy to charge.

    Relaxation promoter

    Fun little bear to help slow breathing down and help relax.

  • Feb 26, 2025

    Calming bear

    The colors change quickly and induce calm. The bear is light weight and pliable

    More than a night light

    This is a wonderful night light and so much more, I originally ordered this to use as a night light since it was rechargeable and did not need to be plugged in/could be placed near child. It works great as a night light with a long battery life. Then I started reading what this light is really meant for, the next time my child had a tantrum, we did the breathing exercise with the light, wow! what a wonderful tool to have. Easy to use, easy to set, item is soft and has multiple light color variations. I am happy with this order and now know it is much more than a night light.

    Great for calming overwhelmed kiddos

    I’m a special education teacher, and my students often have difficulty regulating their emotions when they get upset. This breathing pal is a great strategy for them to practice their calming down skills when they’re overwhelmed. It can be used with the whole group during SEL lessons to teach breathing strategies, or with individual students when they need to take a short break to calm down from crisis mode. This is a great tool for teachers, counselors, or parents. I even found it useful for myself to help me take some calming breaths.

    Relaxing! Adorable! For any age!

    This little cutie, is made from silicone so it’s really soft. I was kind of skeptical but glad I got it.. I am in the mental health field and I am always looking for tools. I am keeping this for myself. It changes colors and the colors prompt to breathe in and out. It is so relaxing, it’s a great little meditation between work tasks or anytime you are feeling stressed. I also has a nightlight. Super cute. It would make a really cute gift. 😍😍

    Great Addition to Therapy Office!

    This lovely little guy lives in my therapy office! My clients all LOVE him and I do too! He's helped some of my younger clients learn some valuable breathing practices, and he stays on for up to 2 of my sessions at a time! Not sure if there's a timer that causes him to turn off after that period, but I've only had to charge him a couple of times since I first bought this!

  • Aug 3, 2025

    Worth the buy!

    One of my favorite purchases for my son, and even myself. The light is great quality as well as the material it’s made out of. Colors are bright and vibrant. Easy to use. Even for kiddos. I have not had no technical issues always an awesome tool to rely on. I have even brought it to work and has lasted all day when needed a break to regulate. Absolutely worth the money!

  • Feb 20, 2024

    Easy to use and cute...

    This is a super cute device to help learn how to control your mindful breathing. It comes with a standard USB-C charging cable, but you’ll need to use your own power adapter to charge it. I have several extras from old cell phones. The battery seems to last quite awhile. The various settings are printed on the bottom, so you don’t have to worry about misplacing them.

  • Mar 2, 2024

    Does as stated

    This is as stated but I expected it to be a bit different? I thought the lights changed between colors more fluidly. The way it does can be rather abrupt and isn’t very relaxing. And then the night light setting is only the white color. I thought it would be able to be any of the colors. It does say it can be dimmed and I have not figured that one out?

  • Jul 30, 2026

    cute and perfect

    So far this thing is great. I love the different options for the times of breathing. Works well for my son who is 6. Great that you can hold and squeeze. Gives a good visual. I work in pediatrics and my providers also agree that this may be very beneficial.

  • Dec 10, 2024

    Anxiety relief!

    My very best friend has anxiety which can cause heavy breathing and panic. This has helped her breathe and calm down when she feels these scary times arriving. The color is bright and vibrant. Functions as described and seems like it will hold up well!

  • Jan 29, 2024

    Super cute

  • Mar 28, 2025

    Great!

    I bought this as a calming tool in my special education classroom and my students love it. They frequently comment on how it feels and how calming the lights are. Many students have successfully used it to calm themselves down when upset.

  • Jan 19, 2025

    Good product

    Holds a charge well, material is soft to the touch. Good amount of light, I like that it has two brightness settings. Overall, good value for the money and handy little tool to help my daughter relax and sometimes fall asleep.

    Our "Calming" Buddy

    I got this a few days ago and my 4 year old has asked for it when she gets upset to help her breathe and calm down. Not going to lie it works for me too! great buy!

  • Jun 2, 2025

    Great for a break chair

    I bought this for my son when he needs a break. I love that he can easily change the color and that he can squish it as hard as he wants and it won't break.

  • Jun 8, 2026

    Cute colorful and fun!

    Fun and adorable way to work on regulation and deep breathing. My pediatric clients love getting to hold it while breathing and watching the colors change.

    Very cute and pleasantly squishy

    Great 2-level nightlight. I am just starting to use the box breathing for insomnia. It’s too early to say, but it seems like it might be helpful.

    Nice

    More options, but light does not go all the way to the top.I selected this one because it has three different breathing patterns and I appreciate the flexibility.The entire item does not glow as the light doesn’t reach the top.

Ted
Meet Ted

The bear with two worlds

By day Ted naps under the apple tree. By night he becomes a glowing, squishy little bear — and quietly gives something up to do it.

Parent questions

How does it actually help a child calm down?

It gives them something to follow. They breathe in while the light grows and out while it dims, so slow breathing happens without anyone having to explain it. It works best if you introduce it during a calm moment first, then reach for it when feelings run high.

What age is it for?

Most families start around 3. Younger toddlers enjoy it as a squishy night light with a grown-up nearby; older kids, teens and adults use the patterns on their own.

Does it need an app, wifi or batteries?

None of the three. One button, a built-in rechargeable battery and a USB-C cable in the box.

How long does a charge last?

About 20 hours of use — for most families that is a charge every week or two.

Can they fall asleep with it?

Plenty do. The silicone stays cool and the light switches itself off after two hours, so it will not glow all night.

Can a whole classroom share one?

That is where a lot of them end up. Wipe it down between children, and look at the packs of 3, 6 and 9 if you need several for a calm corner.
