MEET THE CALM CREW

Meet the Calm Crew

Benny, Lila, Hazel, Pip, Millie and Ollie help us tell stories about feelings children recognize. You'll find them in our cards, puzzle and activity books. Each has a personality, a feeling to explore and a playful strategy you can try together.

The six Calm Crew characters from Mimu & Me

SIX FAMILIAR FACES

Different Feelings. Familiar Friends.

The Calm Crew gives children a familiar character, symbol and strategy to connect with different kinds of moments. Kids do not need to fit neatly into one character. They can recognize themselves in more than one, and that can change from day to day.

Benny the Bear from the Calm Crew

Angry & frustrated

Benny the Bear

Benny can feel frustrated when things do not go his way. Try telling a story about what happened to Benny today, then practice the volcano jumps and cooling breaths described in the puzzle’s parent guide.

Volcano Cool the Lava
Lila the Fox from the Calm Crew

Worried & nervous

Lila the Fox

Worry can make everything feel uncertain. Lila’s anchor is a reminder to notice what is here and help the body feel grounded.

When too much is happening at once, Hazel helps make room for a pause and one manageable next step.

Millie reminds kids that it is okay to need comfort, closeness or a few words before they are ready for what comes next.

HOW THE CREW SHOWS UP

Make Up a Story. Try an Idea.

The characters appear across Mimu & Me products so children can see the same feelings, symbols and strategies more than once. The goal is familiarity: talk about a character, try an activity through play, and return to the cue later when a similar feeling shows up in real life.
