Core Concept
Discovery through Play
The Setup
Miimou is a series for Preschoolers (2-4). In a world made of reassuring round geometry, Miimou encounters simple obstacles—a gap too wide to jump, a block that won't fit.
The Themes
Resilience, Curiosity, and "The Joy of Figuring It Out." We celebrate the process, not just the result.
The Structure
Episodic. Each 5-minute episode is a self-contained "discovery" with a clear beginning, middle, and end.
The Protagonist
Miimou
The Curious Explorer
Miimou is the audience: eager, non-verbal, and full of wonder. A soft, spherical toddler-creature who communicates through giggles, coos, and expressive bounces.
- The Want: To touch, hold, and understand everything.
- Kid Entry Point: Miimou is "new here" just like them. They learn together.
- Evolution: Learns patience and vocabulary (one word at a time).
The Mentor
Bow
The Gentle Guide
Part fairy-godmother, part narrator. Bow bridges the gap between Miimou and the viewer. Bow never solves the problem for Miimou, but asks the right questions.
- Role: Narration & Emotional regulation.
- Dynamics: "Try again, Miimou!" (Supportive, never didactic).
- Magic: Can reshape into simple tools (a bridge, a ladder).
The Friend
Leo
The Messy Peer
A contrast to Miimou's clean space. Leo brings the "Earth"—mud, frogs, and chaotic fun. He is not a teacher; he is a playmate who learns with Miimou.
- Role: Social Mirror & Parallel Play.
- Dynamics: The "Oscar" to Miimou's "Felix".
- Contrast: Muddy Boots vs. Shiny Fur.
The World
A Soft, Safe Sanctuary
The Rules:
- Gentle Geometry: No sharp edges. Hills are soft, mossy mounds; trees are ancient, towering giants.
- Soft Physics: Falling feels like landing on a deep bed of moss.
- The Environment is the Antagonist: Soft doesn't mean easy. A steep mossy hill or a strong wind provides the friction, requiring Miimou to adapt and overcome.
- Living World: The environment reacts. Strange glowing flora hums when touched.
Locations: The Cozy Cave (Home/Crash Site), The Fern Forest (Exploration), The Misty Mountains (Adventure).

Episode Springboards
Ep 01: Miimou Meets the World
Goal: Find her ears and feet.
Miimou wakes up clueless. B.O.W. helps her run a system diagnostic. She stomps her feet (check!) but can't find her ears—until a soft breeze reveals them under her fur.
Theme: Self-Identity
Ep 02: The Feeling Cloud
Goal: Chase away the gloom.
A literal raincloud follows Miimou. Is she Sad? No, she's Frustrated! A "Stomp and Shake" dance helps blow the cloud away, revealing the sun.
Theme: Emotional Regulation
Ep 03: A Friend for Miimou
Goal: Say hello to Leo.
Miimou spots a muddy boy (Leo) in the garden. She is shy. A "Brave Breath" gives her the courage to approach him for a "Cat Nuzzle" High-Five.
Theme: Making Friends
Ep 04: The Big Backyard Build
Goal: Build a cardboard castle.
Miimou is too short for the high parts. Leo is too big for the low parts. Together, they fit perfectly. "You help me, I help you!"
Theme: Teamwork
Ep 05: The Red Leaf
Goal: Find the Red Leaf.
The garden is full of green leaves. B.O.W. teaches Miimou to use "Owl Eyes" (differentiation) to zoom in and find the one special Red Leaf.
Theme: Cognitive Sorting
Ep 06: Windy Day Whistle
Goal: Move the leaf pile.
A pile of leaves blocks the path. Miimou learns when to use a "Big Wind" (Strong Breath) and when to use a "Soft Wind" (Gentle Breath) for dandelion seeds.
Theme: Breath Control+46 Episodes: The Full Year
Goal: Guided growth through all four seasons.
From "Community Helpers" to "Spring Science," the year expands into Math, Arts, and World Culture. A comprehensive 52-week roadmap designed to grow alongside the child.

Toyetic by Design
Miimou's simple shapes and soft textures are perfectly suited for physical products. From plushies that demand to be hugged to bath toys that make a splash, the merchandise potential is built-in.
