**When talking about fiddle tools, we think of 2 categories. **

Purpose bought fiddle tools:
Things like glitter wands, oil timers and clicker boxes. These are typically bright colours and quite obvious when in use. Not to mention the price tag attached.

**Common household/classroom items that can function as a fiddle tool: **
Things like maths cubes, LEGO pieces and ‘clicky’ pens. These are often more discreet and FREE as you’ll most likely already have them around the house/classroom.

We like having both types of fiddle tools. Different points of the day and different children respond differently to each tool. Try and find what works best for your class. No one knows your children better than you!

Each download comes with a how-to-use guide and includes FAQs relevant to each resource.

The Regulation Collection

Children who learn to self-regulate their emotions can make friends more easily, relate more successfully with peers and adults, cope with disappointment better and are less impulsive. Within the classroom, if a child can self-regulate more effectively they are less likely to show signs of distressed behaviour. We have created this resource collection to help teach self-regulation within your classroom. Across the collection we have used a child friendly font that is suitable for all children and young people within education. In our own classrooms, we teach writing in precursive font, however we knew this inclusion collection would be to support emotional literacy rather than writing, so we stuck to a print font to make it more visually accessible for everyone. Some of these resources have been in the making for over 2 years! Olivia started creating these resources when working down south in her Year 2 class. She started sharing pictures of her hand drawn regulation resources on her Instagram account back in 2019! Since then, the resources have been adapted as more research came out and as her professional development grew. Now with Lisa, the resources have been made to a higher, digital quality making them more accessible for teachers to print for the whole class, particular children, send home to parents, give copies to 1:1 teachers, etc. Each download comes with a how-to-use guide and includes FAQs relevant to each resource.
