Social Emotional Learning Activities for Kids
Annie & Rocco combines stories, original songs, puppets, drawing, movement, and play to help young children explore important social-emotional skills.

Through rhythm, repetition, and familiar characters, children can revisit skills like identifying emotions, calming their bodies, building confidence, and navigating everyday routines.Â

"Bedtime used to be a two-hour battle in our house. The checklist turned it into a game. My son loves 'checking off' his progress! It’s been a game-changer!"
— David S.
We love all of Annie and Rocco’s books. My toddler just loves to pick them to read and go through for bedtime. I feel like they have been really helpful in getting my toddler to speak more and express herself!
