Autism Calm Corner | Calm Down Corner Kit | Calming Posters for Classroom | Calming Corner Kit with Posters, Solutions Wall, Sensory Toys, Fidget Tools | Ideal for Classrooms or Homes

My child slept well the first time he had the bear and it also give calmed down technology

The beads inside the bear smell really funky. You can't wash the beads but we tried spraying lysol on it and it won't go away. As long as the bear isn't near your face it's fine. Other than that, amazing kit!

I wish I found this when I first decided to start putting together our common corner for my toddler. It literally has everything that you need to get started from the actual storage bin for your sensory items, all of the posters, different activities and techniques that we can use to teach and encourage them to understand for their emotions as you can see I hung up a few of them on the wall. I did not hang up all the posters as I felt. It was a little busy for a two-year-old at least. Eventually well starts to add the other posters as well. My toddler favorite parts, maybe the sensory ball and a little puzzles with the emotions she can put together in various waves. It also comes with lots of different texture than mats and that you’re able to touch and field of different feelings and textures included with them . The weighted bear is very cute and adorable. Also not sure how much I like it due to the fact that it’s very hard to keep the weight evenly distributed. You have to kind of play around with it move it out so that it can you know feel evenly weigh down, so if that’s something you’re not too excited about I think there is an option to purchase without the bear. Then I would suggest that route.The posters provide a learning opportunity for not just a child, but the parent or caregiver as well, such as how to incorporate star briefing or practicing the rainbow activity and finding colors around the room, or just helping to identify maybe some new emotions by looking at the poster of many different emotions displayed.There is a poster that says what do you need? How can I help or what can can you do like three questions or something like that and we haven’t really used it too much yet I think honestly that may be a bit too advanced from a toddler, but I do intend to maybe use it more often as we get into age 3 and 4.

This Calm Down Corner kit comes in its own plastic bin that has a lid that attaches to the top of it. It contains posters that are not laminated but that is an easy fix. The posters are easy to read and are age appropriate for the students. The weighted bear shed within the box but the fur is super soft and silky. It comes with a foam box the kids can put together as well as other fidgets that can assist in refocusing the brain of the child you are working with. This kit comes with 3 sensory pads that offer a variety of sensory activity.. Overall this is a great kit to use within the classroom as well as a therapeutic setting,

When I get my Calm Place set up, I will hopefully remember to update this review with new pictures. I've got memory issues, so I might not. Here's the important thing: this kit is excellent for adults like me who are dealing with anxiety and the stresses of some cognitive and mental issues. I expect it's also very good for children in a classroom, but I can't personally speak to that. What I can say is that it's helping me a lot. I trace the star in Star Breathing and calm myself down BEFORE panic hits. Seeing the posters keeps the calming techniques more in the forefront of my mind. Plus, the bear is adorable, and super soft. He weighs a little over a pound more than my other weighted bear. This makes him a bit too heavy to sit on my head, but he feels VERY soothing stretched across my back, and his shape is wide enough to sit on my actual big grown-up lap. I like the sensory soothing items in the bin, especially the fake grass mat. The bin itself is very nice, a good place to store the different items. I was touched by the thoughtfulness of the manufacturer: including the double-sided strips with which to hang the posters is such a kind touch. I've been learning cognitive behavioral therapy to help reduce my extreme anxiety. The charts and cards in this kit are tools for me to use to remember how to calm down. I know Rainbow Grounding. But when I have a panic attack, I don't REMEMBER Rainbow Grounding. Now, all I will have to do is get to my Calm Place. I've had to call for help because I am so scared. I'm glad there are people willing to help me, but I want to take care of my own self. Asking myself, "What do you need?" helps me do that. And I love the Size of the Problem chart! The actual act of evaluating how bad things are, calms me down and helps me cope. When it comes down to it, I have to help my own self, care for my own self. The tools in this kit are helping me do so, in a gentle and nonjudgmental way.
