This Calming Kit contains 15 different pebbles listing calming activities that will help in teaching children about emotional regulation. When children have difficulty in processing some emotions, they become overwhelmed, and very often do not know how to cope or move forward and this is a way to help them navigate through these emotions by choosing a calming technique.
They are perfect for all children and are especially great visuals for neurodiverse children. Many with autism/ADHD sometimes have negative feelings that they cannot quite pinpoint, so these pebbles help in finding ways to dispel those feelings. They can take out one, try it and if it doesn’t work, take another, while gradually learning there are different techniques to different feelings.
Used regularly, the pebbles could help with:
*Recognising their own needs
*Learning self-regulation techniques in a safe and positive way
*Confidence in managing feelings
*Understanding that all emotions are ok
*Relieving anxiety and stress
*Behavioural concerns.
Should there be something specific you use within your family setting, please feel free to let me know and I can create one for you and swop for another activity.
The 15 activities are: talk to someone, ask for a hug, roll a ball under your feet, draw your emotions, read a book, listen to music, sip a drink slowly, push against a wall, do some stretches, squeeze something, rest in bed, walk around, draw a picture, play a game and calm breathing.
A choice of bags are included (box in photo is for display purposes only) along with a set of 4 breathing activity postcards.
The stones (made from recycled glass) are designed by myself using a decoupage technique (printed on acid free tissue). As with anything hand-made/recycled, there may be very slight variations on each product - the beauty of unique items.
UKCA/CE certified for over 3 year olds.
Sealed with toy safety varnish and must not be submerged in water.
