Mood Critters

Ever wondered what your emotions mean? Let’s meet some critters who know a thing or two about moods

Everyone has emotions. Emotions help us know when things are going well or not so well. They can make us feel good things, like happiness, love, or excitement. Or sometimes they can make us feel bad, like angry, scared, or sad.  

It can be hard to understand what our emotions mean. Luckily, we know some cheeky animals who can help you sort out your feelings. 

Meet Mood Critters

Say hello to Mood Critters! From Bored Bob to Surprised Octy, there’s a critter for every feeling.  

Discover who’s who and find out all about your favourite critters.
