The Calm Down Kit

Every child needs some help to regulate their emotions at some point. Whether they are over-stimulated, exhausted or just need a little time to themselves, this kit can help them find the balance they are needing.

With this calm down kit, I have added a variety of items that can be soothing or comforting. The items included are: a kaleidoscope, play dough, stuffed animal, guitar, puzzle, book about emotions, pinwheel, hand clapping toy, calculator, and a liquid timer.

On the cover of the kit, I’ve posted a variety of emojis to help the child communicate how they are feeling.

It helps to provide a variety of items that include smell, sound, touch and visuals, as all children have individual sensory needs.

Hi! My name is Natalie and I’m an ECE. Yes I know...What is an ECE? I am an Early Childhood Educator. This means that I teach and care for children. With over twenty years of experience, I specialize in programming for school age children. My philosophy is centred in the belief that children learn best when they are having fun, and feel free to explore. I’ve always had a passion for teaching. It allows me to share my interests such as music, cooking and gardening. In return, caring for children has provided me the opportunity to continuously learn, and to become a better human. I am incredibly excited to share these ideas with you? Enjoy.
