My Calm Corner Worksheet for Kids is a gentle, child-friendly printable activity designed to support emotional regulation, anxiety management and self-soothing skills. The worksheet invites children to draw or write the things that help them feel calm, making it a useful resource for social workers, teachers, counsellors, therapists, parents and carers who are helping a child develop a personalised calm-down plan.
The main page features a cosy calm corner illustration with an armchair, cushion, books, plant, warm drink and several large blank cloud shapes. Children can use these spaces to record calming items, sensory supports, grounding activities, favourite comfort objects, breathing strategies, safe people, positive thoughts or quiet activities. The prompt reads: “When I feel overwhelmed, I can go to my calm corner. Draw or write the things that help me feel calm.”
The worksheet also includes a lined section titled “Other ideas I want to try”, encouraging children to add new coping strategies they may want to practise in the future. This makes it suitable for one-to-one sessions, classroom wellbeing work, nurture groups, family support, therapy sessions, emotional literacy interventions and home-based conversations about feelings, stress, worry and overwhelm.
Practical benefits include helping children identify what soothes them before they reach crisis point, supporting the creation of a physical calm corner or quiet space, and giving adults a visual tool for discussing emotional needs in a non-threatening way. Because the activity uses drawing as well as writing, it can be adapted for different ages, literacy levels and communication styles.
This PDF is particularly useful as a printable anxiety worksheet, calm corner planning sheet, self-regulation activity or coping skills resource for children. The resource is credited to Edita Stiborova (2026) and is provided via SocialWorkersToolbox.com.
