My kids love their purrble. They use it for playing more than calming companion though. There purrble is super soft and has different little noises for fidgeting. My kids loved the box it came for and the note of adoption

I got this for my son who has anxiety and ADHD. I think this helps him redirect his attention to caring for her. My son says the heart beat is fascinating, and he loves her purr. It helps calm him down. He named her Precious. He is so taken with her that he took her to school to show his friends and teachers. She is very soft. He told me everyone wanted to pet her. He recognizes that she’s upset when her heart beats fast so he holds and hugs her to try and comfort her, in turn comforting himself. I think this helps him with his big emotions, and I recommend it.
Child approved!

My daughter loves this thing. It is a solid little stuffy a with ears that you fidget/click, and he has a heartbeat? It is very calming and now she’s telling me she wants another one. I’ll be honest, it is quite calming to hold.

My six year old daugher was excited to open her new purrble calming toy. It is very cute it's very soft and makes cute noises. My daughter likes that it purrs. But i don't really think it helps to calm you. But it is a great toy.
Adorable and functional!

Love this little creature. So soft. The heartbeat is very soothing and calming. Hours of enjoyment and comfort. It's a great way to be mindful and focus on just one thing for a little while. Highly recommend it.

My daughter was beyond excited to open up her cute "live animal box" the Purrble has made her night so much better. She gets stressed when she has to sleep in her room and this has been making the nights so much easier. I do wish the sound was louder it is alittle hard to hear. But it's a huge hit with my little.
Love this little animal!

This little animal has quickly become a favorite for my daughter! She instantly took to it and has gotten so much calm out of caring for it. At first I was hesitant to how it would help in any way, but I’ve see her ability to calm herself grow as she calms Purble. Highly recommend for any child!
So sweet and cuddly!

This adorable little creature is so soft, cuddly and calming! My kids instantly were in love with its sweet sounds and magnetic personality. The packaging was another wonderful surprise. Purrble comes in a “crate” and with a note from Dr. Treebury. My kids love investigating what Purrble like and dislikes! We all love calming him down and giving him love.
Cute calming tool for older kids

My daughter, who is 7, sometimes struggles with big feelings. We have worked through a number of calming exercises to include in her toolbox, all with limited success. The Purrble, while it takes some explanation and exploration, is another helpful tool for her. She said that she likes listening to the Purrble’s heartbeat and it helps her remember to calm her own. She has been very attached to it and very serious about the care-taking aspect. I’m giving 4 stars because I do think this is better for older children, age 3 would be a little young. I do think parents need to take time to explore this with their children if they expect it to be useful, as well. For my child, it’s been a welcome addition to her calming kit!
So cute my kids loved him.

This little guy is so adorable! Right out of the box my kids were obsessed with him they had to make a sleep schedule to decide who got to sleep with him first. Super comforting vibrations and heartbeat noises make them just fall asleep immediately. He also makes sweet little sounds that the kids just love. Would recommend for littles with sleep anxiety.

“I received these products for free from the Hey, Bullseye™ sampling program in exchange for my honest review.” If you have ever felt anxious or suffered from anxiety then you know how overwhelming it can be. Sprouiel has come out with Purrble, an interactive cuddle buddy that assists in calming you during those overwhelming moments. This cuddly little friend is for ages 3 thru 103. This innovative technology works by having you calm your Purrable which then teaches you how to calm yourself in the process. This is an exciting and innovative way to reduce anxiety and overall stress, highly recommend. @target #heybullseye

So sweet. I initially thought my 4, almost 5 year old would be too “old” for this or would think it was a baby toy. I was happy to find out that I was very wrong. It comes in a box that says “live animal” so the box is really neat, and then you flip him on, and right away he purrs and his heart beats so fast! Once you hold him a little while and pet him his heart rate normalizes and comes to a normal rhythm. My little one loves to cuddle him and keep him nearby.
Cute purring toy

Cute purring animal that is part purring and part toy that interacts with the kid. My 6 yr old claims she is scared so having something that has a soft covering and purrs helps distract her at night. She likes pushing the buttons in the ears to activate sounds and it purrs at different rates to help calm her down. I liked it has two ‘levels’ for the sensors (high and low).

This little guy is as cute as can be. And it ours and does all sorts of thing. My daughter absolutely loves it. It’s so soft and it’s just adorable as can be. It purrs and has sensors that respond to touch and even has emotions. It is very calming. It’s made really well is not cheap by any means. It giggles and grunts. And it’s all out amazing. I love it and she loves it. Certainly a keeper!

Okay, so I bought this same little guy for mother Dec 2022. Just got another one for my youngest child. My mother is recovering from a life saving (traumatic) surgery and her anxiety is through the roof, still. Believe it or not this stuffy has helped. The purring, little sounds.... It's 💯 worth the $$$ to bring a little bit of comfort and alleviate a little bit of loneliness. I'm hoping it will also help my youngest stay in her room when she wakes up in the middle of the night. Fingers crossed.
Sensory toy
4 out of 5 stars
Jbear828 - 2 years ago
This toy is okay. I had to thoroughly read the packaging to understand how it is meant to be used. It is meant to be used as a calming, sensory toy. By petting the animals soft fur and fidgeting with its crinkly ears and toes it is meant to calm the human. The animal makes purring/heartbeat noises and vibrates. There are 2 settings slower/quieter or faster. This toy is better for my son during the day. I was hoping the purrable would help my son go to bed at night, but even on the slower, quieter mode it’s too stimulating at bedtime.
Soft and cuddly

I got this for me 21 month old son and he loves it! He didn’t care for the vibrating or purring initially, I don’t think he knew what to think of it. However, he has since grown attached to it and calls it his “baby” which is just precious. He likes to take his baby wherever he goes a lot of the time, this includes at the dinner table to feed him and in the car to go for a ride. Honestly can’t say if it helps with his big emotions like the box claims, but he does love his soft, cuddly baby.
Purr needs to be stronger, great for cuddles not crisis

This toy is so great truly. The idea is wonderful and the packaging is so cute. I even like that they don't tell you everything to do right away, they want you to figure it out. But for someone with who's already in fight or fight trying to calm down, it can be really difficult to settle down right off the bat to even focus on the heartbeat. By the time it gets to the purr even on the strongest setting, it feels too dull. Absolutely love it personally as just a general person that like cats but in times of crisis, this needs to have higher settings to do what its intended to.
Super cute and helpful stuffie!

We love our little guy! He has become part of the family! He helps my 5 year old deal with every day stress. He was able to take him to show and tell at school and was able to talk in front of the entire class without feeling any type of anxiety! Very neat and calming!
