5 Calming Tools Every Classroom Should Have

Creating a calm and supportive classroom doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re supporting students with ADHD, autism, or general anxiety, here are five tools that can help all learners regulate their emotions and refocus:

1. Table Buddies – Small plush companions that offer comfort and reduce feelings of isolation.

2. Fidget Tools – Great for busy hands and anxious minds. Just make sure they’re quiet and non-disruptive.

3. Affirmation Cards – Positive, calming reminders that help boost confidence and emotional resilience.

4. Visual Timers – Help students anticipate transitions and reduce stress around the unknown.

5. Calm Corner Kit – A designated space with tools to support self-regulation and reset.
