Who is Little Bear?
Little Bear is a creative therapeutic resource developed by WayMaker, designed to help children feel safe, seen and supported.
Little Bear is more than just a story, it’s a growing collection of carefully designed resources to support emotional regulation, attachment and sensory integration. From the animation itself to soft tactile tools and creative play ideas, each element encourages co-regulation and connection.
Rooted in play therapy principles, Little Bear brings together storytelling, sensory tools and emotional support to nurture children’s well-being.
Tools to Support Your Child’s Wellbeing
Little Bear offers a series of short therapeutic animations designed to support children with grief, separation anxiety and emotional regulation. These gentle, accessible films have been created to give children a way to make sense of difficult feelings through story, metaphor and play.
Each animation follows Little Bear as he navigates emotional challenges many children face. Through calm visuals and simple language, the stories help children recognise emotions, build understanding, and feel reassured that they are not alone.

The tone, pace, and visuals are intentionally designed to mirror the way children naturally engage with the world through story, repetition, and imagination. These animations don't just entertain they model regulation strategies, offer comforting narratives, and give children a language for their feelings. Whether your child is learning to manage big emotions or navigating separation, the playful structure helps them feel understood and supported.
