Meditation Mouse by Fisher-Price provides guided meditation activities for toddlers and preschoolers. It sells for $29.99 at major retailers, such as Walmart and Amazon. The mouse is a plush, huggable toy. In a young girl’s voice, it narrates mindful movements and breathing exercises, then plays ambient music, ocean waves, or nature sounds. My 2-year-old was bothered by its voice. One expert praised the toy’s relatability and encouragement, but believes the recommended age range (2 to 5 years old) is too broad. The makers of Meditation Mouse suggest parents perform the activities alongside their children. Ultimately, it is a relatively low-risk investment, although there are also free online resources available to help parents introduce their kids to mindfulness.

- Meditation Mouse has a young-girl voice that talks children through mindful movements.
