Full of fun and confidence, Olly the Octopus helps us learn all the basic essential life skills: sun sense, keeping safe, crossing the road, learning to dress and lace-up shoes, healthy eating & sleeping. Olly also helps us learn about our emotions and how to achieve positive social relationships.

- The Essential Skills of Keeping Safe: crossing the road, what to do when we're lost, using hot things, being aware of poisons, sun-sense, and your body belongs to you
- The Essential Skills of Independence: such as dressing ourselves, tying our own shoes and blowing our noses, knowing our address
