Does your child struggle with tantrums, frustration, or big emotions? The Cool Tools Anger Management Cards for Kids are a fun, engaging way to teach emotional regulation skills at home, in the classroom, or in therapy sessions.
Teach Self-Regulation Skills
Each of the 42 laminated cards features a playful animal character and a simple activity:
Claude the Cranky Crab learns to notice body signals of anger.
Sanchez the Sloth models the importance of rest.
Lionel Lion discovers the power of pressing pause.
Flip the Elephant shows how to let go of angry feelings.
The back of each card explains the strategy and offers an easy, child-friendly activity that builds emotional awareness and coping skills.
Colour-Coded for Skill Development
Cool Tools cards are organised into five self-regulation categories:
Resting – calm the body and mind
Sensing – build sensory awareness
Moving – release excess energy in healthy ways
Expressing – communicate emotions safely
