Set 16: Jolt and the Puppy Surprise

Meet Jolt – The Shock & Surprise Mood Muncher! ⚡🐶

Help children make sense of BIG surprises.

Buy the Jolt Mood Muncher + Jolt and the Puppy Day Surprise storybook bundle and give children a fun, practical way to understand shock, surprise and unexpected feelings.

Jolt is a soft, sensory character children can hold, talk to and connect with, while the accompanying storybook brings the emotion to life through a relatable story.

Together, they create a ready-to-use emotional literacy resource for homes, classrooms, pastoral support and professional settings.

Why children need Jolt

When something unexpected happens, children can suddenly freeze, jump, laugh, cry, shout, hide or feel overwhelmed.

Jolt helps them understand:

“This is a feeling. Jolt has come to visit me. I am not the feeling.”

That simple shift can help create space between the emotion and the reaction — giving children an opportunity to notice, regulate and respond.

📖 Jolt + the storybook = a resource children can use

The Jolt soft toy and Jolt and the Puppy Day Surprise storybook work together to make conversations about surprise easier, more memorable and more engaging.

Children can explore:

✨ What does surprise feel like in my body?
✨ What makes Jolt come to visit?
✨ Why can the same surprise feel exciting for one person and scary for another?
✨ What can I do when something unexpected happens?
✨ How can I pause before I react?

🏫 Perfect for schools

Use Jolt as part of PSHE, emotional literacy, SEL, pastoral care, wellbeing and small-group support.

It can help teachers and support staff build children's vocabulary around emotions, explore regulation strategies and create a shared language that children can use throughout the school day.

“Has Jolt come to visit?” can become a simple, non-judgemental way to start a conversation.

🏠 Perfect for families

Jolt gives parents and carers a practical resource for talking about emotions through everyday experiences.

The character and storybook can be used at bedtime, during emotional check-ins or after an unexpected event to help children understand what happened and what they felt.

👩⚕️ Ideal for health & wellbeing professionals

Jolt provides a child-friendly, visual and tactile tool for professionals working with children and families.

It can support conversations around emotional regulation, transitions, change, unexpected experiences and strong emotional responses.

🌈 More than a soft toy

Jolt is part of the Mood Munchers approach:

We are not our thoughts.
We are not our emotions.

Our feelings are visitors.

They arrive, we notice them, we learn from them — and they can move on.

Jolt helps children begin to experience surprise and shock with greater understanding, confidence and emotional awareness.

⚡ Give children a language for the unexpected.
