Better bedtimes, without the screen.
Zenimal is three calming tools in one.
In a few nights.
Press a button. Hear a meditation. Drift to sleep. Here's what that looks like over a week.
She presses the Sleep button.
A calm voice begins a 15-minute meditation. She holds the turtle, follows the breath prompts, and settles before the track ends.
She reaches for it herself.
She wakes scared. Instead of calling for you, she presses the nightlight, then the Breath button. She finds her way back to sleep.
He asks for the turtle.
Bedtime stops being a fight. He picks the meditation he wants, you sit nearby, and the whole house exhales.
They press a button. A calm voice does the rest.
A calm voice...
Guided meditations and sleep stories narrated by Anna, our founder. Built for a child's nervous system.
A button they press themselves...
Your child holds the companion and chooses their calm. No screen. No phone. No parent needed.
Somewhere quieter 🌙
The day lifts. They settle. You sit down. Nobody comes to find you.
What changed for them. What might change for you.

This product is amazing! I have been dealing with my daughter not being able to sleep through the night and have tried many things to help her. This was the first product to help her feel safe and relax at night and when she wakes up she turns on a message to help her fall back asleep. Soo thankful to have stumbled upon this!! Thank you!!
I am a child psychologist and mother to an anxious 7 year old. This product has been a game changer for bedtime! My daughter was having such a hard time falling asleep. She is now sleeping an extra hour at night because she has a tool to calm her body and her worries. I have been recommending this to all my patients and families raising kids with ADHD and anxiety!
We absolutely love this device. My child is battling leukemia, and just underwent a bone marrow transplant. Her zenimal has helped so much to get through it. We love all the meditations, her calming voice, and the sweet sentiment at the end of the meditations “and remember you are a good kid” It is so nice to have a portable, washable, chargeable little helper to add to her treatment. We showed it to the child life specialist at our hospital and she ordered a few to keep at the hospital to help the cancer fighters with their stay...it’s worth every penny.
