Frustration Toolkit: tools to help kids slow down, reset & try again
$39.99
Frustration isn’t a bad feeling, it’s a signal that something matters! The Frustration Toolkit helps kids (ages 4–11) learn to pause, breathe, and reset when things don’t go their way. By practicing self-regulation, patience, and flexible thinking, children discover that frustration isn’t failure - it’s fuel for problem-solving and growth.
Each box includes:
- The Little Book on Frustration: A rhyming story featuring Frustrated Parrot, who struggles to join Confident Panda’s basketball game until friends help him slow down and see things differently. With guiding questions and a QR code to a musical rap version, this story turns big feelings into rhythm, reflection, and fun.
- Basketball Stress Ball: A tactile grounding tool that helps kids recognize tension and release it through mindful squeezing and breathing - reminding them that calm bodies create calm minds.
- Bird Feeder Craft Set: A patience-building project that transforms challenges into creativity. As children build and decorate their feeders, they practice noticing frustration, calming their bodies, and trying again with new strategies.
- 3D Parrot Puzzle: A hands-on lesson in perseverance and flexible thinking. Sorting, fitting, and readjusting teaches that taking breaks and trying different approaches is part of learning.
- Feather Breath Game: Soft feathers invite slow breathing and sensory calm. Kids use them for gentle touch or playful breath races, connecting breathwork with relaxation and regulation.
- Bird’s Nest Ball-Bearing Puzzle: A micro-movement game that rewards focus and steady hands, showing how small adjustments—and deep breaths—help us achieve big goals.
- Reading Materials & Activities: Fun facts, reflection prompts, and games normalize frustration as part of life and teach practical tools for working through it.
The Frustration Toolkit empowers kids to transform tension into problem-solving power. By pairing sensory play, creativity, and reflection, it helps children learn that staying steady when things get hard is what helps them grow.
