Calm Down Cubes Set of 12

Support emotional wellbeing and self-regulation with the Lakeshore Calm Down Cubes Set of 12 - a fun, hands-on tool designed to help children identify, manage, and navigate their emotions. When children feel overwhelmed or need to refocus, they simply pick up a cube and try one of the calming activities suggested, such as œBuild with blocks, œPlay with dough, or œDance it out.

Each durable plastic cube features a child-friendly activity and a corresponding illustration, making it easy for children aged 3 years and up to use independently. These calming prompts guide children through soothing physical or sensory actions, empowering them to reset and return to learning with confidence.
