WorryWoos - they’ve all got little worries, just like us – and that’s okay.
Cute little WorryWoo monsters teach kids big important things about emotions.
Understanding that it’s natural to be worried, or scared, or confused, or lonely, or undecided is the first step towards better mental health. Each WorryWoo Monster has a corresponding storybook (sold separately) to help kids see that we all share the same feelings!
With WorryWoos, children recognize emotions and learn strategies to live in a healthy way.
Lonely & depressed? - Meet Nola!
She’s cuddly and green with a playful pomp of red -but Nola is also lonely and bored. Nola’s just the monster to help a child learn to look outside of themselves and reach out to others. Help her discover she has friends around her who care about her!
Undecided & Confused? - Meet Fuddle!
Fuddle can never decide things on his own without a struggle… “yes or no?”, “shall I or shall I not?”, “today or tomorrow?” Remembering to speak encouraging words to herself helps Fuddle gain confidence. Fuddle is a great reminder to take hold of confidence and, “Go for it!”
Insecure? - Meet Rue
Shaggy hair, wooly wings, banana-ish ears, and a nose the size of his belly – Rue feels so different that he hides. If he only knew that his unusual features make him interesting! Get to know Rue and you’ll find something out about yourself too- there are so many things that make you amazingly wonderful!
Shy? - Meet Squeek!
The pip-squeak of the bunch, Squeek is most comfortable watching others. A shy fellow, Squeek needs to know that everyone feels shy once in a while. But guess what – stepping out to be brave has benefits!
Presented with related storybook (sold separately), WorryWoo Plush Characters:
Facilitate understanding of complex emotions
Teach life strategies
Build interpersonal skills, self-reliance, and hope!

As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.
NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 3 years of age.

This doll was is well constructed with appealing colors and textures. I purchased it for my niece who has another 'Worry Woo' plush and wanted a buddy for him. She has really enjoyed the new one and playing with them both together.

Excellent companion to the book. Daughter loves Squeek and being able to play with him really reinforces the message of the book. His pinkness also makes him really appealing to my daughter. She has carried him around for days and seems to connect with him. Good companion for a child who struggles with worry or anxiety as long as you get the companion book.
