As a homeschooling single mama of two very high-energy boys, this calm kit has been such a gift. My boys’ energy is big, and when emotions run high their meltdowns can be just as intense. Having this box has given us a way to pause, keep their hands busy, and help their bodies and minds settle.
It’s not just for tough moments either, the boys often reach for something from it during the day, and it’s saved my sanity more times than I can count. Thoughtful, practical, and calming, it’s been a game-changer for our family.
I recently received the calming kit to help both my girls aged 4 and 6 with their big emotions and to help calm them back down when having a meltdown. I decided to bring it out when they were in the middle of fighting and thank god I had it close by. Completely calmed them down and had them playing happily together. It's also been an absolute game changer especially during those longer car rides when they need something to keep them occupied as they tend to get overwhelmed and bored which leads to full on tantrums. This is truely something every parent needs during those difficult times. Thanks for such a wonderfully put together kit to help calm our little people when they need it the most. ❤️
As a mum of little ones with big emotions, this has been a complete game changer for our home. It is not just a sensory box, it is an emotional support tool that truly works.
Since introducing it, we have seen a huge reduction in both the length and frequency of meltdowns. My kids now help themselves to the calming tools when they feel things building up. It has been amazing to see them take ownership of their emotions in such a positive and empowering way.
The kit creates a calm, safe space where they can reset, and it has made those tricky moments so much more manageable for all of us. The fact that it teaches self-awareness and regulation through play is just brilliant. It is helping my children learn skills they will carry with them for life.
We have even taken it on road trips as a screen free option, which helped avoid car sickness and dysregulation. The tools kept them grounded, engaged and calm, without the overstimulation that screens can cause.
While the kit is recommended for ages three to seven, my nine year old, who is ADHD and on the autism spectrum, uses it daily. She is a very busy kid and even during homeschool lessons she is constantly fidgeting. The squishy glitter pads have become her favourite and she uses them nonstop to stay calm and focused.
What I also really love is the beautiful parent guide that comes with the kit. It helped me understand what is really happening during meltdowns and how to better support my kids through them, before, during and after those emotional storms.
If your child struggles with big feelings or emotional regulation, this is absolutely worth every cent. It is thoughtful, effective, and designed with so much care. The Calming Kit is now a must have in our everyday life, and I honestly wish we had found it sooner.
The Calming Kit has been a total game-changer in our home. Like many families, we deal with big emotions; meltdowns, anxiety, sensory overwhelm and it can feel really hard to know how to help in the moment. This kit has given us practical tools and a sense of calm during those tough times.
Each item in the kit is thoughtfully chosen to support emotional regulation, whether it’s through touch, movement, or quiet focus. What I love most is that it gives kids something they can do to feel better—it helps them feel more in control, rather than being “managed.”
We’ve started using the kit as part of our daily routine, not just when things are falling apart. It’s helped build emotional awareness and has opened up so many good conversations about feelings and coping strategies.
Whether you’re a parent or educator, I can’t recommend The Calming Kit enough. It’s not just a box of toys—it’s a really valuable support tool for any family working through big feelings.
