Wear him like a hug
Draped around the neck, Rory sits where a hug would. The soft plush is the first thing that lands, before anyone says a word.
1 / 4
Big breath in. Roar it out.
Rory’s mantra: “When I am feeling sad or mad, I take a big breath in and roar out my feelings.”
Press for a roar
Press his face and Rory roars. The sound gives a child something to match, so the exhale gets longer without being counted.
Roar together
Lion’s Breath works best side by side. Do it with them once and the routine belongs to both of you.

Product questions
What is Lion’s Breath?
A big breath in through the nose and a long, loud breath out — the way a lion roars. Pressing Rory’s face makes him roar too, so a child has something to breathe along with.
Can I wash him?
Yes. Rory’s voice box is in a zippered pouch behind his head, so take it out first, then machine wash and air dry.
Is the voice box safe?
It stays zipped inside the pouch during normal use. When you remove it for washing, please be cautious of small battery parts, as they could pose a choking hazard.
How is Rory different from Rory Junior?
Rory is the plush lion that drapes around the neck and roars. He is not weighted; Flutter is our only weighted tool. Rory Junior is the small, pocket-sized version of the same routine.
