Introducing
ANIMAL KINGDOM
Our newest book brings wellness, creativity, and imagination together through storytelling and movement-based learning. Kids explore emotional responsibility, healthy habits, and mindful play through characters they'll love.
The perfect tool to enhance educational curriculums, afterschool programs, SEL blocks, and family wellness routines.
Includes movement demos, healthy habit challenges, emotional check-ins, disability inclusion, and mindful journaling prompts.
Program Origin Story
A BONDING RITUAL THAT BECAME A MOVEMENT
The Animal Movements Wellness Workbook was created by Tony Temple and his young daughter, Stori Temple, as a way to bring conscious wellness into the home. What began as a bonding activity during the pandemic grew into a powerful wellness tool for families, educators, and youth programs.
The workbook helps children build healthy habits through movement, mindful journaling, emotional processing, and imaginative play — all anchored in purposeful and therapeutic animal-inspired actions.
"Movement is the gateway. Imagination is the teacher."
