Step by step

  1. 1

    Lay the cape out flat

    Take Little Hug out of its carry bag and lay it out.
  2. 2

    Find the weighted inserts

    The two teal inserts are what give Little Hug its gentle weight.
  3. 3

    Unzip the pocket

    The pocket is under the collar.
  4. 4

    Slide the insert in

    Slide each insert into place and zip the pocket closed.
  5. 5

    Pop it on

    Little Hug sits over the shoulders.
  6. 6

    Clip on the Octopop

    Something for busy hands to hold.

Making the first try a calm one

Pick a calm moment

Let your child see it, touch it and try it at a calm time, not in the middle of a tricky moment. New things feel easier when they're familiar.

Let them lead

Some kids pop it straight on, others want to hold it or carry the Octopop around first. Both are fine.

Add to your calm kit

Little Hug comes with an Octopop. These clip-on tools give busy hands something different to fidget with.
