Let’s talk about something fun today!  As School Psychologists, our offices are inevitably one of the places that students are sent when they are dysregulated.  It helps to have a box of tools that you can allow your students to calm down, or help to regulate themselves when they come in for groups.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had students come in that do not want to talk, and I quickly grab my bin of calming tools and slide it over the table.  I tell them I’ll give them 2 minutes to use whatever they want in it, and then check in.  It works so often!

All you need to put one together is really a basket or box, and some tools.  I’ve shared what has been in my office calming boxes in this post, so head there if you want to see where I purchased these supplies.

The most used tools I have are the hashtag blocks from the Target Dollar Spot, Kinetic Sand, and Thinking Putty.

If you need some labels for your toolbox, I created some that fit in the Target square labels.  Check them out in my Keep Calm Freebies!
