What’s Included
What Makes Tedology Special?
Fidget-Friendly Paws
Specially designed fidget-friendly paws aim to help children with focus, concentration when things feel tricky.
Adult - Child Support
We’ve included simple, scientifically-informed guidance to help parents and carers support a child’s emotional growth alongside the bear - making Tedology a welcome and meaningful addition to any home.
Notebook and Pencils
Included in the kit, the bear’s notebook and mini pencils invite children to draw or write their feelings - especially helpful as an alternative way of expression, and for those who haven’t found their words yet.
Sensory & Tactile Features
This soft, sensory-rich teddy includes features such as: a lightly weighted body, different textured sensory tags, and a crinkly ear - all carefully designed to help regulate the nervous system during big emotional moments.
Emotion Picture Card
A fun visual tool featuring 16 common emotions (including the much-loved “hangry”) is used in play alongside this bear and can help to start natural conversations about emotions in a way that children can relate to.
Guided Audio
With every squeeze, one of ten guided audio activities will play - each one based on tried-and-tested techniques that can help children name, understand, and manage feelings.
Why Families Choose Tedology
Emotional development doesn’t come with a simple manual - especially in early childhood. Tedology was created to gently support this journey. By combining psychology, sensory comfort, and playful activities, the bear is designed to help children make sense of big emotions, manage feelings and express how they feel - in their own time, in their own way.
Why Professionals Working with Children Use Tedology
Encourages Child-Led Engagement
The bear’s guided activities and prompts allow children to explore feelings and develop emotional regulation at their own pace. Working through a gently playful and familiar medium—a teddy bear—adults can naturally initiate meaningful conversations about emotions and experiences.
Supports Emotional Literacy
Additional tools, such as the visual emotion card and guided prompts, help build children’s emotional vocabulary through play, repetition, and connection.
Encourages Generalisation
When introduced with intention, Tedology helps continue the work of emotional exploration beyond sessions, supporting the generalisation of emotional skills into daily life.
Fits into Existing Routines and Practices
Tedology is easy to incorporate into various settings, including classrooms, one to one sessions and care environments. It can work as starting point for discussions about emotions, resilience and regulation and can become a valued part of calm-down spaces, transition times, regulation breaks, or one-on-one support sessions—without requiring additional training.
How Tedology Supports in Professional Settings
Emotional development can be difficult for children to articulate, especially during heightened emotional states. Receiving comfort can also be challenging in unfamiliar settings or when a primary caregiver is not present.
Tedology is designed to bridge that gap, ensuring no child feels alone or unsupported in times of distress. Research shows that children naturally seek out and form connections with teddy bears. The Tedology bear builds on this natural tendency by adding sensory comfort and psychologically-informed audio activities that support children in calming, learning, and expressing emotions—alongside a familiar, comforting companion.
The Smart Side of Tedology
Tedology blends sensory support with smart, child-led emotional functions. From its fidget-friendly paws and sensory tags to it’s guided audio activities and visual emotion cards and tools, every element is designed with intention. This bear is informed by psychological research and clinical experience, whilst honouring the important role of playful connection. Creating space and natural opportunities for both independent exploration and shared emotional moments.
