Brave Button – A Pocket-Sized Hug of Courage for Kids

Starting school or facing something new can feel a little scary—but a Brave Button is here to help.

If your child ever feels worried, anxious, or in need of a hug, they can hold this special wooden button close for a cuddle filled with love and a gentle reminder: they are brave, strong, and never alone.

These wooden worry buttons are a perfect addition to your little one’s school bag, lunch box, or pocket—especially at the start of kindergarten, preschool, prep, or primary school. They're designed to help children feel calm, confident, and connected to home, wherever they go.

Each Brave Button is:
• Made from 3mm sustainably sourced plywood
• 5cm in diameter – the perfect size for little hands
• Lightweight, durable, and smooth to the touch
• A meaningful back-to-school keepsake or separation anxiety tool

Whether it’s the first day of school, a school excursion, a public speaking event, a sleepover, or just a tough day, the Brave Button makes a thoughtful gift and lasting emotional support tool.

✨ Ideal for:
• School readiness gifts
• Starting school anxiety support
• Mindfulness for kids
• Calming tools for classrooms
• Pocket hug for children
• Transition to school gifts
• Comfort objects for toddlers and preschoolers

Give your child a simple but powerful way to carry your love with them—wherever they go.
