Everything is very accessible for learning and suits everyone. Many children struggle with self‑regulation, recognizing the other, stepping into someone else’s shoes, building intimacy, and forming relationships. Catbears touches all the hard points — with humor, sensitivity, and wisdom — which creates listening and leads to quality communication based on connection. From lesson to lesson I see the group truly gaining tools that help them calm down and accept one another — and all with great joy.

Lesson One
Puppet for the theatre

In this activity, children choose an animal they like, cut it out, glue it onto thin cardboard, attach a stick, and color it however they wish. The result is a cute puppet they can use in the group’s puppet theatre — each child creates their own character exactly as they imagine it.

A guided video course that turns everyday crafts into lessons for life. Across 4 sessions, kids follow clear, step‑by‑step videos that blend creativity with teamwork so every child experiences the joy of completing something beautiful and meaningful.

Small groups of 1–6 kids, ages 3–12. Works at home, in kindergarten and elementary school settings, and in social‑skills groups. Younger kids work side by side with an adult; older kids can lead and help peers.

Yes. We use only kid‑safe, everyday items: paper, thin cardboard, tape, glue sticks, crayons/markers, yarn, and blunt scissors with rounded tips — no hot glue or sharp tools.

Children start simple, face small challenges, and finish with a creation they are proud to show. Doing, reflecting, and succeeding together builds real confidence.

This is when emotional habits form. Practicing cooperation, turn‑taking, asking for help, and managing frustration becomes part of how kids approach new challenges.

Catbears is aligned with social‑emotional learning (SEL), project‑based learning, and mastery‑based instruction. It emphasizes practice loops: attempt → feedback → adjust → succeed. Activities have been piloted in homes, kindergartens, elementary classrooms, and social‑skills groups to ensure children can complete projects and celebrate accomplishments.

Each lesson is broken into balanced steps with built‑in pause points. Groups only move forward when all kids are ready. This pacing supports inclusion and reduces frustration for both fast and methodical makers.

Very little. Gather the materials listed (“Get this ready”), print the activity pages, and press play. The course walks you through the rest. Adults mainly supervise, encourage, and help with transitions or quick resets.

Absolutely. Within the structured steps, kids choose colors, decorations, and details, and the activity pages include choice points (e.g., selecting a character or shape). Structure provides safety; choices provide ownership.

Kids learn practical skills such as asking for help, giving help, waiting turns, and using calm‑down strategies when frustrated. The “teamwork steps” prompt short, fun interactions that turn potential conflicts into moments of learning.

Instructions use plain language, visual cues, and modeling. Many steps are demonstrated rather than explained, supporting mixed‑age and multilingual groups.

Structure enables creativity. A step‑by‑step plan reduces stress and ensures everyone can finish, while each build includes meaningful choices so every child can express their inner world.

Lessons and characters were crafted by experts in early childhood, art, and SEL. The Cat and the Bear embody playful vs. steady — opposites that learn to accept differences and work together: the essence of Catbears.

A safe, guided small group for practicing listening, taking turns, resolving conflicts, and celebrating ideas — growing social‑emotional skills through shared making.
