ThinkabaraCalm-Down Cards
Picture cards for a calm-down corner, plus schedule cards, a communication board and a First–Then board.
How to use it
When feelings get big, words get hard. Picture cards let a child point to a strategy instead of explaining. Practice the strategies when everyone is calm so they are ready when needed.
The same maker prints daily schedule cards and a simple communication board — useful in pre-K, special education and at home.
Questions and answers
Where should I put calm-down cards?
On a ring in the calm-down corner, on a lanyard for staff, or on a strip velcroed to the desk.
Can I add my own strategies?
Yes — type them in and they get a star card you can draw on.
