What's included

Everything in the free pack

Simple, brand-safe artwork — paths, stones, leaves, compass points, weather icons and speech bubbles. No character coloring art is included in this edition.

  • Eight US Letter pages

    A cover, a grown-up quick-start guide, five activity pages, and a plain-language household license.

  • Five named activities

    Kindness Compass, Calm Thinking Stone, Curiosity Hunt, Feelings Forecast, and Practice Asking for Help.

    Clean line work that reads clearly in black and white on ordinary home or school paper.

    The file is built in your browser when you press download. No account, no email, no child data.

Inside the pack

The five activities

Each activity takes about ten to fifteen minutes and can be repeated for weeks.

  • Page 310–15 minutes

    Kindness Compass

    A simple four-direction compass your child fills in with one kind action for someone at home, someone outside, a living thing, and themselves.

    Empathy, perspective-taking, everyday kindness

  • Page 410 minutes, then reusable

    Calm Thinking Stone

    Your child decorates a smooth stone outline, then uses a real stone as a hand-held cue for slow breathing when big feelings arrive.

    Self-regulation, breathing, calming routines

  • Page 515–20 minutes

    Curiosity Hunt

    A six-square looking game for a walk, a garden, or one room indoors — something rough, something tiny, something that moves, and more.

    Observation, vocabulary, focused attention

  • Page 65 minutes a day

    Feelings Forecast

    Weather icons give children a low-pressure way to report how their day felt — sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, or stormy.

    Emotional vocabulary, daily check-ins

  • Page 710 minutes

    Practice Asking for Help

    Three speech bubbles give children ready-made sentences for asking a grown-up for help, so the words are there when they need them.

    Communication, confidence, self-advocacy

Printing guidance

Getting a clean print at home

A minute of setup makes the pages far easier for small hands to use.

Paper size
US Letter, 8.5 × 11 in. Print at 100% scale and turn off “fit to page”.
Color
Black and white is fine for every page — color is only for the cover.
Paper weight
Plain paper works. 120gsm or card stock is nicer for the Calm Thinking Stone page.
Reuse
Slide a page into a wallet or laminate it to reuse the Feelings Forecast daily.
Supervision
An adult should stay with the child for every activity, especially outdoors or with small objects.

Educational value

What children practice

Written plainly for grown-ups — no claims, no curriculum jargon, just what each page is for.

  • Kindness Compass

    Empathy, perspective-taking, everyday kindness

    Children this age copy what they see. Say your own kind action out loud as you fill in a point beside them.

  • Calm Thinking Stone

    Self-regulation, breathing, calming routines

    Practice on calm days, not only hard ones. The routine only works when it already feels familiar.

  • Curiosity Hunt

    Observation, vocabulary, focused attention

    Resist naming things first. The pause before your child answers is where the learning happens.

  • Feelings Forecast

    Emotional vocabulary, daily check-ins

    Accept the forecast without fixing it. Naming a stormy day is the skill — solving it can come later.

  • Practice Asking for Help

    Communication, confidence, self-advocacy

    Answer every practice ask with a yes-and-a-smile. Children keep asking when asking always goes well.
