Cool Tools Regulation Cards

Cool Tools: Emotional Regulation Cards for Kids

Help kids calm their bodies, understand their feelings, and navigate big emotions with confidence. Big emotions are a normal part of childhood — but children need clear, supportive tools to learn how to cope with them. Cool Tools are thoughtfully designed to help children recognise what’s happening in their body, slow down their reactions, and choose helpful strategies when emotions feel overwhelming.

Created by an Educational Psychologist and grounded in neuroscience, mindfulness, and sensory-based approaches, these cards make emotional regulation practical, engaging, and easy to use.

Why Parents, Educators & Therapists Love Cool Tools

✔️ Build lifelong self-regulation skills

Children learn how to pause, notice body signals, express emotions safely, and think through challenges — skills they can use at home, school, and beyond. 

✔️ Support calmer responses to big feelings

By practising strategies regularly, children feel more capable and less overwhelmed when emotions run high. 

✔️ Make emotional skills child-friendly

Playful animal characters turn complex ideas into simple, memorable strategies kids enjoy using.

These cards don’t just support the moment — they help children develop emotional understanding that grows with them.
