That's it. That's the whole process.
No apps. No WiFi. No setup.
I was four when night terrors began stealing my sleep. A patient psychologist taught me meditation, session by session, breath by breath. She gave me the ability to calm my own heart.
Thirty years later, I wanted to give my own kids what she gave me—but in a way they could hold in their hands. Their own source of calm. No screens. No waiting for permission.
Every Zenimal carries that gift forward.

Why Screen-Free Isn't Just A Feature—It's The Whole Point
When faced with 47 app choices like YouTube and games, meditating loses out.
Screens indicate daytime to the brain. Meditation apps hinder sleep by using the device meant for wakefulness.
Their turtle, not mom's phone. Kids who own their calm tool use it 3x more consistently.
This is why hospitals and schools choose Zenimal over apps. The delivery mechanism is the treatment.
All devices are screen-free. All include guided meditations and sleep sounds. All work offline.
Here's what parents tell us:
"I tried playing meditation apps on my phone, but my daughter kept asking to watch videos afterward. With Zenimal, she just presses play and settles down. No battles, no negotiations."
Teaches them to quiet their mind instead of counting sheep for an hour.
Gives them a tool when emotions feel too big. They learn 'I can calm myself down.'
Practicing attention during meditation builds the muscle for homework and listening.
Every time they self-soothe, they prove to themselves: 'I can handle this.'
Clinically proven: 83% show measurable anxiety reduction.
They don't need you to fix it. They have their own tool for calm.
These aren't just nice ideas. They're backed by clinical research and 90,000+ families.

You can listen to sample meditations on the product page here. Longer variations of meditations and soothing sounds are available through our Additional Meditation Cards.
