Why They Work
When young children feel anxious, angry, or overwhelmed, they often don’t have the words or skills to manage those emotions on their own. These printable coloring pages give them a concrete, visual way to connect with helpful calming strategies, and the act of coloring itself adds an extra layer of relaxation.
Whether you’re working with the whole class or supporting individual students with special needs, these pages provide an easy, non-disruptive way to build emotional regulation skills over time.
