Product Summary
Brilliant Breathing Bag • Ages 3+
Brilliant Breathing Bag
A fun, therapy-backed kit to help children build calmer, healthier breathing patterns at home. Designed by clinicians at Breathe First to support nasal breathing, better sleep and stronger oral muscles – using simple games children actually enjoy.
Developed by Emily Kirkcaldy after 1,000+ therapy sessions with children, this kit interweaves play and myofunctional therapy to improve engagement and exercise compliance.
Why children love it (and therapists recommend it)

How to use the Brilliant Breathing Bag
You don’t need to be a therapist to use this kit. Follow these simple steps to build a realistic, sustainable routine at home.
1
Choose 1–2 games each evening.
Short, regular practice works better than long sessions. Aim for 3–5 minutes.
2
Scan the QR code to watch the demo.
Each activity has a video showing exactly how to do it safely and effectively.
3
Use the weekly tracker sheet.
Each day your child gives themselves a score out of 10 for how well they did their breathing games — a fun way to build ownership, consistency and motivation.
4
Notice the changes.
Look out for quieter sleep, fewer open-mouth moments, calmer breathing and improved focus.
Bonus video library included

Every activity in the Brilliant Breathing Bag comes with a short, easy-to-follow video. Simply scan the QR code on your instruction sheet to watch the demo together.
- Step-by-step demos for each game, led by Emily.

Frequently asked questions
What age is the Brilliant Breathing Bag suitable for?
Most activities are suitable from around age 3+ with adult supervision. If your child has additional needs, please follow advice from their clinician.
Is this a medical device?
No. It’s a therapeutic training kit designed to support healthier breathing habits. It does not replace individual medical assessment or treatment.
Can it support speech & myofunctional therapy?
Yes. Many of the activities strengthen lips, cheeks and tongue muscles used for speech, chewing and swallowing. It also complements formal myofunctional therapy programmes.
How quickly will we see changes?
Every child is different, but most families notice early changes – such as more closed-mouth resting and quieter sleep – within 2–4 weeks of consistent practice.
