It's normal for children to have trouble coping with certain issues, so Helle Freude created Boo Boo Dolls to help them ease their worries.
The idea behind Boo Boo Dolls is to give the little ones a cuddly friend that will also help them relieve stress. What the child has to do is write down what they're worried about, then feed it to the mouth of the doll, which then metaphorically "eats" their troubles away. The concept is similar to that of worry dolls from Guatemala, only instead of the dolls taking on your worries, these little critters chomp them away. Freude has created several characters to choose from, each of which have quirky, strange, but lovable features.
I love the concept of the Boo Boo Dolls and am sure they'll solve an important, yet under-discussed issue.
