What are Mood Bears?

Mood Bears are plush toys that have been specifically designed to help support mental health and wellbeing.

And for anyone not ready to talk, they are always there for a cuddle.

Having that cuddly toy is something tangible that kids can hold and show how they’re feeling.

It’s safe to say our 11-year-old tester (and a total baller) was absolutely thrilled.
