The Feeling Forest
A daily feelings check-in
Free
A gentle daily ritual for you and your child: check the weather in your garden, talk it through with a friend from Bamboo Hollow, then breathe, move, or notice together.
What's the weather in your garden today?
The Feeling Forest is a gentle daily ritual for a child and a grown-up to do together. Your child picks today's weather — sunny, rainy, stormy, windy, foggy, calm, starry, or rainbow — and a friend from Bamboo Hollow answers in their own recorded voice. Then you talk it through, one small step at a time: notice the feeling, wonder why it's here, give it a name.
Some days are sunny. Some days are stormy. Every kind of weather is okay.
THE FRIENDS
Pippy, Pat, Mona, and Miles each lead with a different feeling — love, calm, joy, tenderness — and any friend can move through any weather. Your child chooses who to talk with today.
THE TOOLBOX
After the talk, choose one gentle thing to do together:
• Breathe — the Breathing Flower (smell the flower, blow the dandelion), or breathe along with Pippy
• The Wiggle Woods — sixteen short movement breaks led by the friends
• Forest Sounds — quiet soundscapes from the Hollow to rest with
• The Noticing Nook — a five-senses noticing walk
• The Kindness Garden — small kindnesses to give to someone today
Every visit ends on purpose. The app sends you back to each other, not back to the screen.
FOR GROWN-UPS
Behind a grown-up gate: how to talk about each kind of weather, a bank of questions to ask aloud, the Five Feeling Skills, breathing and movement settings, and printable pages to color together.

The Feeling Forest grew out of The Feeling Forest picture books, where these friends and their weather first appeared. It's built on the five research-backed skills of emotional intelligence — noticing a feeling, understanding it, naming it, expressing it, and steadying it — practiced the way young children learn best: with a grown-up, in conversation, a little each day.
