Myrah's favourite stuffie from the popular book Shawn's What If's can now be a part of your home. Ellie E is a unique toy designed by Dr. Robin Baweja herself. This ever so soft plush toy can now be a be part of your child's safety net.

This toy is exclusively designed as a transitional toy. The term transitional toy is used in the medical world to help parents and/or caregivers minimize the fear while being separated from them. The separation could be a journey to school, a birthday party or a trip to the grandparents.

Ellie E allows the child to feel safe and grounded during this transition. There are several features of the elephant that provide tips and constant reminders for the child.

1st feature -  On one paw of the elephant, there is a birthday cake with candles to remind your child to 'BLOW OUT HIS/HER CANDLE'S. This reinforces deep breathing during times of stress.

2nd feature - On the second paw of the elephant, there lies musical notes. These musical notes will remind your child to sing HIS/HER favorite song when there is fear.

3rd feature - Ellie's satchel. The satchel has an open and close function. that allows your child to place something small from the home such as a miniature toy. The parents can also write a sweet message and place it in the satchel for your child to read later.

4th feature - On the back of Ellie, there are various sensory zones that are shaped as a heart. This feature allows your child to feel and touch while they are facing challenges. Each heart represents a different color and texture.

5th feature - The most exciting feature of Ellie are the feet. There is a play and record function that allows the parent or caregiver to record and rerecord a 30 second long message. The child can also record words of encouragement for him/herself later to listen too.
