Coloring to Regulate

Help me give my students coloring tools and coloring books to add as a sensory break station.

My Project

Please help donate these items for a station to learn to use coloring to calm down and regulate. The coloring tools will be used in our stations as a calm-down technique in hopes one or many of them will take the idea and use it outside of the class.

Many of the students already enjoy the adult coloring trend.

I want to have them use the tools in this project to color and use the lamps to regulate their feelings. The students will save their work and be able to go back and continue to color. I also will have some classes color as a team to see what wonderful work we come up with!
