Gift a Boo is close to my heart. Back in 2020 when our daughter was seriously ill, Koala Kids would drop off beautiful gifts from kind and generous people. This helped our daughter so much and it helped us as parents. You generous gift will bring happiness and comfort when it is needed most.
My Buddy Boo helps children learn that all emotions are OK. Boo’s emotion badges allow children to express feelings, including joy, sadness, anger, and bravery, in a non-verbal way. This opens vital conversations that give parents, caregivers, and health professionals deeper insight into a child’s emotional needs. Most importantly, Boo helps children feel seen and heard. He offers comfort, companionship, and a sense of shared experience. Boo isn’t just a toy, he’s a Buddy who’s going through life with them.
Boo is a therapeutic comfort toy designed to help children express emotions and feel more in control of medical procedures. Boo includes a cancer port, Koala Kids badge, 13 emotion badges and a band-aid to encourage play-based coping strategies and opens up gentle conversations about feelings.
Boo's are delivered to Koala Kids monthly.

About the port
About the port
An implanted port is like a secret door inside the body. It helps doctors give medicine and take blood with less fuss. It’s like having a tiny superhero helper!
Port access was a very traumatic experience for our daughter when she had cancer. I designed Boo in the hope he would help with port procedures, helping other children feel less alone and have some control during the process.

Buddy Boo is more than just a plush toy—he’s a gentle, understanding friend who helps children express what’s often too hard to say out loud.
As a parent of a child undergoing cancer treatment, I found Buddy Boo to be an incredibly thoughtful and helpful tool. The velcro port and childhood cancer badge are beautifully subtle touches that make kids feel seen and understood—like they have a little buddy walking beside them through every step of treatment.
When my son used his emotion badges, I was genuinely surprised by what he shared. Before a lumbar puncture, he placed badges I wouldn’t have expected. Without needing to have a big or overwhelming conversation, he showed me exactly what was on his heart. That kind of insight is priceless.
This little adventurer is helping children speak their truth in a way that’s gentle, empowering, and just the right size for them. Highly recommended for any child facing medical challenges or big emotions.
We were gifted a Boo to accompany my 3 year old son into his bone marrow transplant, obviously being incredibly hard on him physically and emotionally. Boo has given my son the tools to express himself in ways he previously struggled with. He was also tickled that Boo has a port needle like him too and it has helped in the sometimes traumatic process of dressing and line changes because Boo does it too! Boo himself is beautiful quality, soft high quality fabrics and easy to use even for my very sick 3 year old. So grateful for the gift of communication and comfort 🩵🎗️
Our daughter isla is going through chemo atm and has a traumatic experience having her bloods taken aswell as having her port accessed. Katie kindly send BOO to us hoping it would help isla during her treatment. Its safe to say isla dosnt go anywhere without her Boo. He has been a blessing in helping her express how she is feeling if she can not understand how to express them. He sits with her during any procedure she has aswell as comforts her while she is receiving her Chemotherapy.
Thankyou Katie for sending Boo out way Xxx
My little man received his Boo as a gift which happened to arrive on his last day of treatment for a two year and three month battle with Leukaemia.
The smiles and giggles were infectious and he was beyond happy.
My son declared that Boo, like him, had Leukaemia and that they would finish treatment together and go together to get their ports removed soon.
Having my little guy have a special friend to relate to and find comfort in for this next chapter of his life is beyond special and we are forever grateful.
Thank you so very, very much for bringing him the perfect friend to cuddle, love and share this journey with.
Our daughter was gifted a buddy Boo during a recent stay in Hospital. What an amazing gift, the emotion badges are a great tool in assisting our daughter to express how she is feeling. We are 2.5 year’s into treatment, and although we are near the end of treatment, our family are experiencing on-going big emotion’s. Our whole family are benefiting from My Buddy Boo as we share our feeling’s together. Such an exceptional, comforting tool for everyone, particularly children who have experienced a lot of trauma. Genius idea, well done to helping so many people Katie! 😃
