Self-Regulations Stones Set of 12

These Self-Regulation Stones are a thoughtfully designed, open-ended resource to support children in recognising, expressing, and understanding their emotions. Ideal for young learners who may struggle to articulate their feelings verbally, each of the twelve tactile stones features an image that visually represents an emotion. By selecting a stone that matches their mood, children can begin to explore what they are feeling, identify possible triggers, and develop constructive strategies for emotional management. This simple yet powerful process fosters emotional intelligence, builds self-awareness, and strengthens children’s ability to engage positively with others. The stones are also a helpful prompt during conversations around behaviour, reflection, and wellbeing, and can be integrated into mindfulness activities to support calm, present thinking. Made from a durable material, the stones are robust enough for indoor or outdoor use, making them a versatile addition to any early learning or primary environment.
