When your kid goes from 0 to 100 — and knows the strategies but can’t use them in the moment. Pip’s Cool-Down Crew is a printable anger calm-down card deck (ages 5-8) your child *plays* through a big angry feeling, instead of a stack of calm-down tips they never reach for. Instant download — print at home, cut, and go.
Most calm-down printables just list “count to 10.” This deck runs the whole self-regulation loop: NOTICE a body warning sign → PICK a cool-down move → DO IT → MAKE IT RIGHT. One action per card, very few words, made for early readers and for a grown-up to coach right alongside them.
What’s inside — 18 print-and-cut cards + a 7-page printable (A4 + US Letter): – Warning-Sign suit (6) — spot the body cue early: hot face, tight fists, loud voice, fast tummy, gritted teeth, stompy feet. – Cool-Down Move suit (6) — one do-now move each: turtle breath, balloon breath, push the wall, squeeze & melt, count & stomp, ask for space. – Crew set (6) — Notice & Name, Body Check (hot / cooling / calm), Make It Right (repair), Cool-Down Together, How to Play, and a Keep-Me-Here calm-corner label. – Plus a How-to-Print page and a Coach & Parent guide page.
Why it’s different: a repeatable notice → move → repair loop — the repair piece most anger decks skip — tuned to ages 5-8 and framed as a calm-down *choice*, never a punishment. Perfect for the calm-down corner, cool-down corner, small counseling groups, SEL time, and emotion-regulation practice at home or in the classroom.
Great for: parents, school counselors, SEL & special-education teachers, and anyone building coping skills with a 5-, 6-, 7-, or 8-year-old.
PhD Made. Built on published CBT research. This is an educational tool to build coping skills — it is not a substitute for therapy or professional care.
