Calm Down Cards (Set of 12)

Calm Down Cards – 12 Visual Tools for Self-Regulation

Big feelings are a natural part of childhood—but helping children learn how to manage those emotions is key to building resilience. The Creative Sprout Calm Down Cards provide 12 hand-illustrated strategies designed to support mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-awareness in fun, practical ways.

Each card features a calming activity, from mindful breathing techniques like 5 Finger Breathing and Lion’s Breath to movement-based tools such as yoga poses and grounding exercises. By practising these techniques together, children begin to build an emotional toolkit they can draw on when feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or frustrated.

Perfect for calm down corners, classrooms, therapy sessions, or use at home, these cards act as gentle visual prompts to guide children back to a more regulated state of mind. Over time, kids will learn to reference the cards on their own, helping them to feel more in control of their emotions.

Designed and printed in Australia on durable, child-friendly card stock, the Calm Down Cards are a versatile resource for parents, teachers, and therapists who want to nurture emotional wellbeing.
