A lion at one end and a flower at the other. Turn it over and the toy tells a child which breath comes next: smell the flower going in, roar it out coming back. Small enough for one hand, a pocket, or a school bag.

What a child does
Smell the flower, flip it over, roar the breath out
Useful moments
On the go, in a bag, in a calm corner, or in a classroom

How this helps

Two ends, two halves of a breath, and nothing to remember in between.

  • The flower — a slow breath in through the nose.
  • The lion — a long, loud breath out, the way a lion roars.
  • The flip — turning it over is the cue to go again.

Same Lion’s Breath routine as the full-size Rory, in a version that fits a bag.

Flower in. Lion out.

Hold it in one hand

Sized for small hands. Nothing to switch on and nothing to set up.

Flip between breaths

The turn is the instruction. Flower up means breathe in, lion up means roar it out.

Ready to give

Arrives boxed, so it works as a gift, a classroom set piece, or a first sensory tool.

Rory Breathing Tool - - - helping us with BIG feelings

"The physical tool the students can HOLD while also practicing deep breathing. . . it makes this abstract concept of "just breathing" so much more tangible by holding the tool and seeing the flower/Rory's head and moving the pieces. . . it's helping us 'tame' those big feelings. Thanks!"

— Maria T. (5/5)

Love these!! Wish I would

"Love these!! Wish I would have thought of this-genius…I think all pre-k classrooms should have them!!"

Q&A

Your first week with Rory Junior

It travels, which is most of its value. Decide early where it lives.

Day one

How to introduce it

Do one round yourself. Flower to the nose, flip, roar. Hand it over and let them find the turn on their own.

Days two to four

Give it a home

A backpack pocket, the car door, or the bedside table. The routine sticks faster when the toy is always in the same place.

Any day

When it doesn’t work

Sometimes it just becomes a fidget, and that is fine. Put it back where it lives and offer it again later. Use is never required.

Product questions

What makes it 2-in-1?

Two characters on one toy. The flower end cues the breath in, the lion end cues the breath out, and flipping it over is what moves a child from one to the other.

Does it make a sound?

No. Rory Junior has no voice box, so the only roar is the child’s. That makes it usable in places the full-size Rory is too loud for.

How do I clean it?

Spot clean. Machine washing is not recommended.

Should I get this or the full-size Rory?

Rory the Lion is a full-size plush that drapes around the neck and roars out loud — better at home. Rory Junior is small, quiet, and portable — better for school, the car, and waiting. Many families keep one of each. See Rory the Lion.

What are the shipping, return, and warranty terms?

See the Shipping Policy, the Refund Policy, and the Terms of service.
