Description

Feeling a bit stressed or anxious?

Step 1) Eat a tub of ice cream – I’d recommend chocolate fudge

Step 2) Use the empty ice cream container to create a mini Balance Box/Calm Kit!

This resource brings a variety of calming activities all together in one place, to create a little portable kit for children to keep at school, take home to share with parents, or bring with them as they move around the school.

 

THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES:

A selection of labels to decorate the outside of your ice cream container:

  • Options for the top & sides of your container (some designed to compliment Te Whare Tapa Wha & Zones of Regulation)
  • All labels are perfectly sized to fit an ice cream container – just pick the ones you want and print!
  • Colour, black & white and blank templates included if you’d prefer the kids to colour or create their own
  • Flip your ice cream container lid and…… choose from a selection of 50+ mini calming strategies to personalise your kit (these attach to the inside of your ice cream container lid)

A4 ‘FEELINGS’ SLIDER TEMPLATE

  • Your young people can reflect on how their body and mood are feeling and slide the beads and rotate the wheel to share how they’re feeling physically and mentally
