The Calm Caterpillar

Introducing the Calming Caterpillar – a great tool to help children manage their emotions. Whether you choose the Calming Caterpillar, the Calm Corner Kit, or both, you’re giving your child helpful resources to calm down and regain emotional balance.

The Calm Corner Kit is designed to create a peaceful space in your home, helping both children and parents relax. It equips kids with essential emotional and social skills to serve them throughout their lives. Created by Sarah Habib, a mindfulness expert with years of teaching experience, this kit has made a positive difference in schools like Cincinnati Public Schools and North College Hill City Schools.

Inside the kit, valuable items like the Calming Caterpillar Parent Class, a Tree Stump Sitting Cushion, an Expandable Breathing Ball for rhythmic breathing, and a Hand-Breathing Poster help reduce stress and improve focus. The Parent Field Guide is also included, providing simple tips and techniques to help you teach calming strategies to your child.

You can also purchase the Calming Caterpillar separately for even more soothing, cuddly fun! The Caterpillar is designed to encourage breathing exercises and provide calming, deep pressure. It offers three different techniques so your child can choose the best method.

Expanding: Stretch the Calming Caterpillar to match deep breathing, offering feedback on breath and teaching cause and effect.

Weight: Drape the Calming Caterpillar around the neck for a gentle sensory experience that helps calm the nervous system.

Counting: Gently pet each of the Caterpillar's ten segments to focus on counting, combining touch and breath to achieve relaxation and focus.

You can use the Kit and Caterpillar separately or together for calming exercises at home, in the classroom, or while traveling.
