In a word – adorable. Kimochis are uber cute attention grabbers. But the real benefit is how they help kids express themselves.  “Toys with feelings inside” is the company’s motto.  Each Kimochis character represents a different kind of personality.  Our sample, “Cloud” is moody – happy moments and not so happy moments.  Just flip him around and his mood changes, from smile to frown – simple and effective.

Other colorful feeling tokens are included representing shy, happy, brave, mad and more.  I thought it was a useful tool to recap the school day with my second grader.  Our toddler loved to spin around with his new friend; a great bedtime or travel companion. Kimochis are $25.  Additional pack of feelings $12. Learn more at www.kimochis.com.
