This My Worry Jar free printable PDF is a simple and effective anxiety and wellbeing activity to help children manage worries, anxious thoughts, and big feelings in a safe way.
Children are encouraged to write or draw their worries and place them in the jar, helping them move thoughts out of their head and feel calmer. The gentle space theme makes the activity feel reassuring and engaging, while supporting emotional expression and helping children let go of worries before rest or sleep.
This resource supports children’s mental health, emotional regulation, and coping skills, and is especially helpful for kids who experience anxiety, overthinking, stress, or worry at bedtime. It can be used as part of CBT strategies, worry time routines, or daily emotional check-ins.
A practical tool for use at home, in classrooms, or in therapy, suitable for parents, carers, teachers, school staff, counsellors, and social workers supporting children with anxiety, emotions, behaviour, and wellbeing.
