Little Zen Explorers: EYFS Calm Toolkit ​

Support co-regulation in Early Years with this Little Zen Explorers toolkit. Includes grounding scripts, transition rhymes, and “Zen Den” sensory resources. This comprehensive digital pack provides EYFS and Early Years practitioners with a biology-based approach to emotional regulation that avoids complex spiritual language and focuses on lowering a child’s heart rate through sensory focus. Your purchase includes a guide to building a Calm-Down Sensory Basket featuring tools like worry stones, glitter jars, and auditory cues like rainmakers to support gentle transitions. Practitioners will benefit from ready-to-use “5-4-3-2-1” grounding scripts and 3-minute reset exercises like “Balloon Breath” and “Cloud Watcher” to help children manage “wiggles” or loud voices. The resource also features melodic transition rhymes for tidying up, lining up, and snack time to maintain a peaceful classroom flow. Additionally, you receive “Zen Den” poster text and printable colouring sheets to help children identify their emotions and find stillness in a dedicated quiet space.
