So, what exactly is in a CoolKit and how can it help regulate your child’s emotions? Let’s take a closer look.

Reversible Octopus

Soft, squeezy and sporting two different faces, Octo-buddy can tell people how you feel, when you don’t want to. Octo is comforting and can frown when you’re down, and when you’re ready simply turn its frown upside down for a cheery companion.

Essential Oil Roller

Bergamot, chamomile, lavender, rose and ylang-ylang are just some of the essential oils used to combat anxiety. Our miniature oil roller can help you stay fresh and calm throughout the day. You also may also want a change of scent – it’s as good as a holiday!

Squeezy Animal

Squeeze is a different type of input and can be calming and balancing when you concentrate on the pressure you squish into the ball. Good in any combination with earplugs, an eye mask and essential oils.

Eye Mask

It’s no secret that anxiety does for sleep what rain does to a parade. The eye mask can help promote calm by blocking your sight and creating a safe and sound environment that promotes rest.

Ear Plugs

When things become too loud and overwhelming, earplugs can help block out the noise. Pair the earplugs and with the eye mask to ensure maximum calm.

Pop Strap

Use this to take your mind off senses that are overwhelmed. Small and easy to wear or keep in your bag, a pop strap is easy to use, fun and calming.

Cube for Thought

A breathing oval to calm.
A joystick to drive your emotions in a different direction.
A roller ball to let life roll over you.
A circular swivel to turn yourself around.
A switch for you to switch to a different colour.

Fidget cubes ​​are popular among those who find it difficult to stay still and are a popular way to counter stress and anxiety.

Notebook

And last but certainly not least, vital to acknowledging what parts of the kit work best in various situations is writing down how you feel. Journaling will help you identify patterns, and it will also help you recognise how to feel better too.
