Play Brainy Breezy Beez Ultra Soft Plush Teddy Bear Stuffed Animal with One Press Play Voice Technology for 3 & Up - Unique Baby Gift for Kids’ Self-Soothing & Calming Techniques

I purchased this bear for my almost 3-year-old nephew and he loves it. He actually is able to follow along with the instructions and does some of the breathing and counting. It definitely helps to calm him down. My sister has been using the bear in the morning to relax him and get his day started before daycare as he is not a morning person. I even find myself following along to the prompts. This is a really unique toy. It's quickly become his new best friend.

I bought it in hopes that it would lessen her anxiety on a upcoming surgery. She absolutely loves it!

Great for both my daughter and son! Calms them and it’s also just an adorably classic bear!

The voice box malfunctions. Pressing the buttons gives you prerecorded sayings that you can’t record over, and they’re butchered and don’t even work. Complete waste of money.

Wish if kids songs added to it. Kids bored with this thing pretty quick.

This stuffed bear is super soft and cuddly, and would be a nice cuddle toy even without the talking feature. Before giving it to my grandson, I tried the voice feature, and I agree with one of the other reviewers who said that the description of a voice activation feature somewhat misrepresents what it does. The bear talks when you push buttons on the feet or hands, but it is not activated by your voice. The description should be reworded to reflect that.The voice is a woman’s voice, not especially soothing, but ok. It’s not grating, but definitely sounds like an adult. The box in the bear’s back needs to be taken out and the tab pulled out before the voice will work. I didn’t really like the zipper for the voice box compartment as it is totally exposed and works so easily that even a small child could unzip it and take out the voice box. It wouldn’t take much to break it. A hidden zipper would have been much nicer. My overall impression is that this is a nice toy and that a child might react positively to the voice if guided by an adult the first time or two. The bear is soft and comforting, so it could be a nice bedtime Teddy bear. I only gave it 4 stars because it does seem overpriced for what it is, the zipper should be covered and the description of it being voice activated is mis-worded.

So we got this to give to a needy child. Until our Granddaughter saw it.It was so soft and plush and talked, that she demanded it was hers. Ok at age 5 I get it.Still her favorite toy to sleep with months later.

I know from experience as a dear friend who lives far away sent me one when I lost my husband. She said that when I felt lost and lonely I should grab the bear and give it a hug. And I can honestly say it helped me to not feel so alone, as old as I was. And as upset as I was there was just something about being given a Teddy Bear that seemed to quiet my grief and deep emotions.So giving someone -- anyone -- this little bear could brighten their day. My bear didn't talk, but this one does, and I think that's a magnificent plus. I can see where it would indeed be calming.This bear is so soft you can't help but cuddle him. It's a proven fact that touch is vitally important, and this bear seems to beg to be held and cuddled. It's made fairly well so I think it could take a lot of love and hugs and still come out fine. My grandson will love it.Love is universal, and gets through to children when nothing else will. So giving them a Teddy Bear like this one is definitely a great idea.
