Miimou Mascot

The Protagonist

Miimou

The Curious Explorer: A soft, spherical toddler-creature who learns through touch and giggles.

The Want: To touch, hold, and understand everything.
Kid Entry Point: Miimou is "new here" just like them.
Evolution: Learns patience and vocabulary one word at a time.

The Mentor

Bow

The Gentle Guide: Part fairy-godmother, part narrator, Bow asks questions instead of solving problems.

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 muddy exuberant boy who brings energetic, messy peer play and parallel play.

Role: Social Mirror & Parallel Play.
Dynamics: The "Oscar" to Miimou's "Felix".
Contrast: Muddy Boots vs. Shiny Fur.

The World

A Soft, Safe Sanctuary

"A world that reacts to kindness."

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 the hidden ears.

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: Help the cloud go away.

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—bravely.

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

+49 Episodes

Goal: Guided growth through all four seasons.

From "Community Helpers" to "Spring Science," the year expands into Math, Arts, and World Culture.

Production Strategy

Smart Structure

We maximize both learning retention and production budget by exploring one core topic across three distinct 5-minute variants.

Variant A: The Lesson

Setup & Discovery

Ep 02 Example: Miimou feels a "storm" inside. B.O.W. identifies it as Frustration and teaches the "Stomp & Shake" method to clear the cloud.

Core Asset Creation

Variant B: The Twist

New Context, Same Tool

Ep 02 Example: Leo arrives with a muddy problem. The "Stomp & Shake" doesn't work for mud, but Miimou adapts the feeling lesson to help Leo calm down.

~70% Asset Reuse

Variant C: The Song

Musical Reinforcement

Ep 02 Example: A high-energy music video recap. "Stomp, Stomp, Shake it out!" The lyrics cement the emotional tool in memory.

~80% Asset Reuse

52-Episode Roadmap

52-Episode Developmental Engine

A systematic roadmap synthesizing HighScope’s Plan-Do-Review logic with Bank Street’s Developmental-Interaction approach. Every episode is a synchronized strike on social-emotional scaffolding and cognitive mastery.
