Grounding Anxiety Keyring 5 Senses
The Five Senses Grounding Keyring for kids' anxiety, anger and other big emotions
Introducing this portable and powerful tool designed to help children manage and regulate their emotions through the use of their five senses. Compact, colourful, and easy to use, this visual keyring is a must-have for kids who need a quick, effective reminder to calm their nerves and regain their focus.
INFO:
Printed onto 6 x 50 mm metal circles. Each one serves as a visual reminder for your child to ground themselves in moments of need. Use the keyrings to go through and notice what is around you.
1. I feel: on the back side is a soft feeling velcro dot to stroke and feel for that sensory input. What else can you feel around you?
2. I smell: on the back side is a scratch and sniff sticker. What else can you smell when you close your eyes?
3. I see: on the back is a sticker with different shapes and colours to spot. How many blue things can you see? How many red things? How many lightening bolts?
4. I hear: jangle the keyrings or notice the sounds around you when you close your eyes.
5. I taste: notice the taste inside your mouth or attach a sensory wrapped snack onto your keyring in moments of need.
Key Benefits:
Promotes Mindfulness:
The keyring encourages children to ground themselves in the present moment by engaging their five senses. This mindful approach helps distract them from anxious thoughts and brings immediate relief.
Enhances Self-Regulation:
Each keyring is equipped with sensory activities that children can use to self-soothe. The keyring it's self is a sensory tool, with the gentle tapping of the metal bouncing off each other. By practicing these activities, kids learn to regulate their emotions and manage anxiety independently.
Encourages Sensory Exploration:
With prompts for sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell, the keyring transforms anxiety management into a fun and engaging sensory adventure. Children can explore different ways to calm themselves, discovering what works best for them.
Builds Emotional Resilience:
Regular use of the keyring helps children build resilience against anxiety. Understanding how to use their senses to calm down empowers kids with practical tools they can rely on in stressful situations.
Supports On-the-Go Use:
Compact and lightweight, the keyring can be easily attached to a backpack, belt loop, or kept in a pocket. Its portability ensures that children always have a calming tool within reach, whether at school, in the car, or during travel.
Fosters Independence:
The keyring allows children to take charge of their anxiety management. With simple instructions and easy-to-use sensory prompts, kids can practice self-soothing techniques on their own.
