Calm, Cool, and Collected!

Help me give my students a timer to empower them and enhance their time management skills while painting with Kwik Stix Tempera paints, and a respite into a calm cuddle ball to aid in self regulation.

My Project

My wonderful students are full of life and vigor, happy feelings, sad feelings, and strong feelings! They all come to play in a day's cycle. Help provide my students an additional place of comfort, to simultaneously get and give a hug on demand, by accessing the calming cuddle ball.

Once the soothing has begun, the gateway to calm, cool, and collected self regulation continues with sensory and art tools to appease the senses and release creative genius.

And, finally, all good things come to an end, and using a variety of timers will promote smooth transitions in peace and harmony.
