Supporting everyday moments through Kindness, Education and Play

Discover a thoughtfully selected collection of books, Emotion Buddies, activity resources and comforting companions that connect
with the Kind-e-play Approach.

Chosen for children across the early years and early primary, these resources offer educators, teachers, parents and families practical ways to support social
and emotional wellbeing, connection, confidence, friendships, gratitude and learning through play.

Each resource has been selected for the opportunities it can create - to start a conversation, offer reassurance, explore feelings,
encourage connection or simply share a positive moment together.

About our Emotion Buddies

The Kind-e-play Emotion Buddy Collection brings together a thoughtfully selected range of Palm Pals plush companions with the characters, worlds and concepts of The Kind-e-play Approach.

Each Palm Pal has been chosen to connect with a Kind-e-play friend — offering a small, familiar companion that can be used alongside conversations, stories, transitions and everyday experiences.

Palm Pals are sourced products and are not manufactured by Kind-e-play.
The Kind-e-play character connections, suggested uses and educational links have been created by Kind-e-play Educational Consultancy.

Other selected products within the Kind-e-play Shop are sourced from third-party publishers and manufacturers.
