Family Connection Activities: Calming Play & Everyday Learning 〰️
Fun, simple ways to bond, build skills, and spark joy - right from home
Squeeze & Breathe
A simple breathing and squeezing exercise using your KSA stress ball to help children slow down, self-regulate, and refocus. Perfect for transitions, big feelings, or just a quiet reset during the day.
Bubble Feelings
Turn playtime into a powerful emotional check-in. With each bubble, your child can name and release a feeling, turning invisible emotions into something they can see and let go of.
Mood Color Jars
These DIY sensory jars are a calming visual for emotional overwhelm. Watch the glitter swirl and settle as a cue to help your child do the same… pause, breathe, and reset.
5 Senses Scavenger Hunt
A mindfulness-based scavenger hunt that encourages kids to use all five senses to explore their environment. Excellent for grounding attention, calming nerves, and building sensory awareness.
Feelings Fort
Create a cozy fort where your child can unwind, feel safe, and express themselves. This simple space becomes a retreat for storytelling, quiet play, or emotional resets.
