Making a Coping Skills Toolkit at Dollar Tree

In this episode, I am talking about coping skills tool kits that you can make at the Dollar Tree. I have previous similar episodes based on different stores such as Five Below, Target, Michael’s and Oriental Trading and one more general episode right back when I started this podcast. I talk about different styles of coping skills like relaxation, distraction, movement, sensory and processing.

The topics I cover in this episode are;

How coloring books can be relaxing OR a distraction

Building bricks as a calm down kit

Playing Word finds

Playing Uno Go!

The different games and activities you can play with large dice

Fidgets and how they can help on a sensory level

Why journaling is one of my favorite tools for kids
