Big Feelings Toolkit for Kids (Ages 5–7)

Big feelings can be hard for young children to understand — and hard for adults to know how to help with.

This gentle 14-page toolkit gives children aged 5–7 simple, visual activities to help them name what they’re feeling, notice the signs in their body and discover calming strategies that work for them.

Print it today and use it together at home, school, in a calm corner or during one-to-one support.

• ✓ Understand and name feelings
• ✓ Recognise body signals
• ✓ Explore calming strategies
• ✓ Suitable for home, school & support settings
• ✓ Instant PDF download

Usage licence

Use it whenever and wherever it is needed within one household or one organisation/site.

A single purchase may be printed and used multiple times by one household or at one school, hospital, clinic, therapy practice or care setting. Staff at that organisation may use it with the children, patients or people they directly support.

A parent or carer may also give the file or printed pages to their child’s named teacher, therapist, healthcare professional or support team for use with that child.

Please keep the digital file within that household or organisation. It may not be uploaded to public or shared-resource websites, passed to unrelated households or organisations, resold, redistributed or used to create products for sale. Separate purchases are required for additional schools, branches, sites or unrelated organisations.
