Say hello to Ollie the Weighted Octopus, a soothing companion who celebrates the power of touch, his special sensory strength. With a comforting weight of 3.2lb, Ollie offers deep pressure support to help littlies feel calm, safe, and emotionally regulated.
Ollie is always ready for an adventure, whether at home, daycare, or school. He is there when your child needs a hug, a snuggle, or a moment of stillness. His soft texture and gentle presence provide sensory comfort that helps reduce anxiety and build emotional security.
With Ollie by your side, every cuddle becomes a moment of healing and every touch a reminder that you are supported and never alone.
Backed by evidence-based research, Ollie the Weighed Octopus focuses on Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS), which is a firm tactile sensory input that provides a Proprioceptive* response to the body. It simulates firm hugs and compression and motivates the release of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. This helps children to regulate their emotions when going to sleep or when they are feeling emotionally overwhelmed.
Ollie and his four senses friends guide you with mindful tools. He shows you why your five senses matter and helps you to self-soothe.
Please note that while Ollie The Weighted Octopus is soft and cuddly, he is also a special toy that requires gentle care. To ensure his longevity and safety, we recommend that children handle Ollie with care and that he is not subjected to rough play or washing. While we strive to create toys that are both durable and lovable, we cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur due to improper use. Thank you for your understanding and for giving Ollie the love and attention he deserves.

Great purchase for child with anxiety
I bought this to use for my son's anxiety. Works even better than I could have imagined. It’s hard to describe why having a cute weighted animal snuggled on top of you or next to you for sleeping is so comforting…but it just is. Would definitely repurchase and recommend to others.

Encourages better sleep
Can’t thank Mindful & Co Kids enough. Ollie has been a game changer for my son who WOULD NOT sleep in his own bed and we tried everything. Love love love. Such sweet staff too, they were super helpful!.

Great for sensory use
Best purchase. We really love his tentacles, it is the perfect sensory toy for my son who has Autism.
Frankl is wonderful. So soft and comforting. Frankl is providing me support after the recent loss of a beloved Fur Friend. The Team at Mindful & Co were very prompt and the description was very accurate. I happily recommend Frankl and Mindful and Co.

These are amazing!!!
These are amazing, such beautiful designs and the quality is superb. I got 2 - Charlie and Ollie - for my two boys and they are by far the favourite things in the house now. My eldest AuDHD boy gets so much comfort and calming from Ollie. Thank you!!

We love Pickles!
My daughter loves this new friend, and I love the effects it has on her nervous system! She will sit with Pickles on her lap and tell her stories and the weight of Pickles helps to calm her down and bring her back to her body. We call Pickles “the wise old cat,” haha. I haven’t tried microwaving or freezing it yet, although I’m curious to know if my daughter would like either.
We’re both very pleased with this new regulation tool and it’s proven to be a favorite already!

Fun with my grandkids
I gave to my granddaughters, 8 and 6 years old, one mat for each and one set of cards.
We had so much fun. Even my 3 years old grandson incorporated to our practice using my Mat. Definitely ill recommend
This is a wonderful kit of reminders and tools for helping kids and parents navigate childhood anxiety in an age appropriate and lighthearted way. I feel like I'll be using some of this for myself as well!
Perfect for the kids. Both the jigsaw puzzle and the yoga mat are high quality and just as expected. The kids use the mat daily, and they enjoy working together to complete tue jigsaw phzzle.
