It brings together visual fans, fidget tools, mood bands, a storybook and emotion cards in one ready-to-use kit for schools and homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe toolkit works by giving children a consistent, visual language for feelings, rather than relying on words alone. It includes 42 Every Day I'm a Rainbow Emotions Cards, 9 Stretchy Fidget Noodles, 3 Emotions Face Fans, 3 Traffic Light Think Fans, 3 Self Regulation Fans, 3 Mood Bands, 4 Emotional Regulation Options Posters and 1 Winston the Worried Whale storybook. Having this range of tools in one place means staff and parents can reach for whichever resource suits the moment, whether that is a calming fidget during a wobble or a fan to help a child point to how they feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGives a whole class a shared set of visual tools for emotional regulation, useful during circle time, transitions or one-to-one check-ins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports provision written into EHCPs and SEND support plans, and fits within a graduated approach to emotional regulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes enough individual pieces, such as three sets of fans and mood bands, to use with a small group or rotate around a class.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for early years and primary settings looking for a single, well-organised resource rather than several separate purchases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor parents and home use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGives families a calm, practical way to talk about big feelings at home, using the same visual approach many schools already use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Winston the Worried Whale storybook offers a gentle, shared reading moment to open up conversations about worry and emotions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFidget noodles and mood bands are easy to carry between home, the car and days out, so regulation support travels with the child.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps reduce frustration around meltdowns by giving children a tool to show how they feel before emotions escalate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor autistic children, the toolkit's reliance on pictures, colour-coded fans and objects to hold, rather than requiring spoken explanation, matches the way many autistic children process and communicate emotion. For children with a wider range of SEND, the repetition of the same visual system across fans, cards and posters helps build a routine that children can rely on, which is often more effective than a one-off conversation about feelings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVisual supports and self-regulation tools of this kind are widely used within occupational therapy and SEND practice because they give children a concrete, external way to identify an internal state, a step that many neurodivergent children find difficult to do from words alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSchools can add the Emotional Regulation Classroom Toolkit to existing SEND provision with no set-up required, and parents can start using it at home the same day it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Play Doctor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57905320919422,"sku":"TA2498","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6560\/6649\/files\/Emo-TK-Classroom-1.png?v=1787567196","url":"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/products\/emotional-regulation-classroom-toolkit","provider":"The Dyslexia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
