I am a school counselor looking to provide materials to assist with social emotional learning. I am also looking for sensory based materials to allow children to utilize during times of "big emotions" in an effort to enhance regulation - stress balls and putty are great tools to assist in maintaining attention and are helpful with students who experience anxiety.
Students also like to work on puzzles.
I find that puzzles are helpful when students are having a difficult time expressing themselves. If given the quiet and a little time, they are able to begin talking about what is troubling them.
