What's in the Bundle

  • Calm Down Corner Printables - 3 posters with calming strategies, breathing exercises, and a feeling check-in
  • Feelings Keyboard - 1 poster to help kids identify and name their emotions
  • Anger Iceberg - 1 poster showing the hidden feelings underneath anger
  • Feelings Wheel - 1 poster to expand emotional vocabulary

Why a Calm Down Corner Works

  • Kids learn to go to a dedicated space when overwhelmed - not as punishment, but as a habit
  • Visuals do the work when words fail. Posters give a self-guided path back to calm
  • Naming an emotion reduces its intensity. The tools here give children the vocabulary to say 'I feel this'
  • Works in any setting - home, classroom, or therapy office

How to Use:

  1. Download and print all 11 pages
  2. Choose a quiet corner and hang the posters at the child's eye level
  3. Add a cushion or soft chair and a few sensory items (optional)

A calm down corner is a designated, cozy space where a child can go when they feel overwhelmed, angry, or upset. It's equipped with visual tools and sensory items that help the child self-regulate and return to a calm state - without adult intervention.
Choose a quiet corner or small space. Add a soft cushion or chair, and hang the printable posters at the child's eye level. Include a few sensory items (a fidget toy, a squeeze ball). Introduce it to the child during a calm moment - never as a consequence.
This bundle includes all the essentials: calming strategies, a breathing guide, a feelings wheel, a feelings keyboard, and an anger iceberg poster. Together they give children the vocabulary and tools to navigate big emotions.
Yes, completely free. Join the Catbears newsletter and you get the full 11-page PDF bundle to download and print at home.
