The Cup of Calm features fun calming techniques children can do to quickly feel calm. We've also included a blank Cup of Calm, so that they can draw or write their favourite techniques in their own cup to keep for rainy days.

About this resource:

My Cup of Calm is a delightful resource designed to help children learn and practise calming techniques. This resource includes a calming poster to display and a blank template for children to personalise with their favourite calming strategies.

The poster features a visually appealing design with various calming techniques that children can easily implement to find their inner calm. From deep breathing exercises to mindfulness activities, each technique is presented in a fun and engaging manner, making it accessible and enjoyable for children.

Displaying this poster in homes, classrooms, or therapy settings serves as a visual reminder for children to access their coping skills and find calmness when needed.

In addition to the poster, the resource includes a blank cup template that children can fill in with their own preferred calming strategies. This encourages creativity and personalisation, empowering children to explore and identify the techniques that work best for them. By having their personalised Cup of Calm, children can refer to it whenever they need a moment of relaxation or self-soothing.
