Calming Kittens and Activity Cards

Calming Kittens offers young children in early years and KS1 a toolkit to understand and manage their emotions.

• Through engaging strategies, children learn to calm themselves and gain better emotional self-control. The activity cards assist practitioners, teachers and parents in discussing emotions with children.

• Designed with young learners in mind, these compact cat figures offer an engaging way for children to explore their feelings. Each colour-coded kitten represents a specific calming activity that aids in teaching children about their emotions and provides methods for effectively dealing with them.

• Activities range from controlled breathing to singing, chanting, and physical exercise, helpful in teaching self-regulation and emotional control. Furthermore, these activities stimulate the release of oxytocin, enhancing the child's overall well-being.

• This set is beneficial for both individual and group settings, making it a valuable resource for developing coping strategies and emotional understanding from an early age. Activity cards included facilitate conversations about feelings and emotions, making this toolkit pivotal for emotional literacy.
