"My daughter loves her Mindful Monkey Zafooz! It’s quickly become an important part of her safe space when she is feeling overwhelmed or emotional. She uses her zafooz to practice her breaths, calm down, read to herself or snuggle. We live such over-active, busy lives, and it’s nice to have a place where she can unplug , and a special little friend to help."
