This giveaway is now closed with 305 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Felicia & Brandon!


Here is some information behind this genius idea:
"Kimochi (KEY.MO.CHEE) means "feeling" in Japanese. And Kimochis are what come inside each character! Kimochis are small pillows with a feeling on one side, and a facial expression on the other. Using the characters and their Kimochis, kids can get in touch with their emotions in a fun and comfortable way, building self-esteem and confidence one feeling at a time!"
I received their Kimochi Bug and Mixed Feelings Pack 1 and my daughter and I think it's the cutest toy ever. The concept behind Kimochis is smart and innovative. Children and parents are really loving what this company provides. Kids are able to deal with their feelings in an interesting and intriguing way. The Kimochi plush feelings can be placed right inside the bug's pocket. Each doll includes 3 feelings.

Kimochis has been featured in the magazines Mothering, Wonder Time and Parenting. I can see why so many parents, psychologists and children love their products. They really help children identify with their own feelings and emotions by interacting with the dolls. Children are instantly drawn to these cuddly characters and learn how to express themselves through the use of Kimochis.
Their website is really darling. Visit them with your little one. I'm sure they'll love looking at their fun characters with you. They have a great section for parents too.
Kimochis would like to offer one lucky reader a Kimochi doll of your choice!

ReplyDeleteWe come from a very traditional family that sometimes does not encourage feeling talk but with this it would really help with my little one! I don't want him to be raised in such a "traditional" manner when it comes to expressing feelings.
