Moonbuddy is a screen-free, handheld breathing companion designed specifically for children. It gently guides kids through calming breathing exercises by expanding and contracting in their hands — no screens, no apps, no complicated instructions.
Simply hold Moonbuddy, breathe in as its tummy expands, and breathe out as it contracts. Each session runs for four minutes and then switches off automatically.
Moonbuddy is based on scientific research and recommended breathing techniques endorsed by leading health organisations including the NHS, Mayo Clinic, American Academy of Pediatrics and Harvard. In a 2025 study with 60 children, nearly 80% of parents reported clear improvements in their child's sleep and wellbeing after one month of use.
Designed for children aged 6 to 12 years old.

Step 1: Charge It Up Before first use, charge Moonbuddy using the included USB cable. A full charge gives multiple sessions of use.

Step 2: Press the Button to Turn It On Press the single button on the back of Moonbuddy to turn it on. Press again to cycle through the four breathing rhythms. Each rhythm is indicated by a different coloured light — green, blue, red or yellow — so your child can easily find the pace that feels right for them.

Step 3: Hold Moonbuddy in Both Hands Invite your child to hold Moonbuddy gently in their hands so they can feel its tummy move.

Step 4: Breathe Along When Moonbuddy's tummy expands — breathe in. When Moonbuddy's tummy contracts — breathe out. That is it. No counting, no screens, no instructions to follow. The movement does all the guiding.

Step 5: It Stops Automatically Each session lasts four minutes and Moonbuddy switches off on its own. Your child does not need to do anything else.

The Four Breathing Rhythms
• Green light: 8.5 breaths per minute — a gentle pace suited to most children
• Blue light: 9 breaths per minute with a short pause — helps signal the body it is time to rest
• Red light: 10.5 breaths per minute — a slightly quicker rhythm for younger children
• Yellow light: 6 breaths per minute — the slowest and deepest rhythm for maximum calm

A slower breathing rhythm is generally better suited to older children. A slightly faster rhythm works well for younger children.
Let your child try each one and settle on whatever feels most natural.
