At Sensory Made Simple, we know that every child learns and regulates in their own unique way—and sometimes, it takes a little creativity to make calm happen. That’s where our next character comes in: meet Remy the Raccoon, the resourceful friend who’s always ready to help kids find comfort, focus, and fun.

🌟 Meet Remy!

Remy is a curious raccoon who loves cozy corners, calm tools, and clever ideas. While Poppy is off exploring and Theo is leading calming breaks, Remy is busy figuring things out. He’s a tinkerer, a helper, and the friend who reminds everyone that sometimes the best way to feel better is to make your space your own.

You’ll often find him wearing his teal scarf, carrying his little tool bag filled with fidgets, earplugs, and a soft blanket. Remy believes that having the right tools can turn any moment into a calm one.

💛 Remy’s Story

When Remy was younger, he used to get overstimulated by bright lights, loud sounds, or crowded spaces. He’d hide under the bed or cover his eyes with his paws until things felt quiet again. One day, his grandma helped him build a calm corner with a box of tools—soft fabrics, squishy toys, and headphones.

That corner changed everything.

Now, Remy makes sure every space he visits has something comforting—whether it’s a calm-down basket, a sensory bin, or just a quiet corner with soft lighting. He knows that when your environment feels good, your body and brain can, too.

🧠 What Remy Teaches

Remy helps kids learn how to build their own sensory supports and take ownership of what helps them feel safe and focused.

He encourages kids to:

Notice what feels good (soft textures, calm sounds, gentle lights)
Create calm-down kits with their favorite tools
Try problem-solving through play when things don’t go as planned
Be resourceful and kind—because helping others feel comfortable matters too

✨ How Remy Fits Into Your Day

In this month’s subscription box, you’ll spot Remy helping kids design their own sensory kits and classroom cozy corners. He might show up on calm-down cards, “choose your tool” posters, or even fidget-friendly activities that inspire creativity and calm.

When things feel big or busy, Remy’s here to remind kids:

“Let’s build your calm, your way.”
