The moment they walked into the space and saw the weighted stuffed animals, sensory stepping stones, and squishy toys, their faces lit up with excitement. One student said, \"This feels like my safe place!\"—and that's exactly what we hoped to create.\r\nWe've been using these materials during individual counseling sessions and small groups focused on emotional regulation. For example, during a recent social-emotional lesson on managing big feelings, students practiced calming strategies while holding weighted plush animals and using sensory tools to stay grounded. These resources have helped students feel more in control and confident when expressing their emotions.\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching a student who often struggles with anxiety walk into the space, pick up a plush character, and immediately relax. He was able to participate in the group discussion without shutting down—a huge step forward for him.\r\nNext, we'll be incorporating these tools into lessons on resilience and problem-solving. Students will use play dough and mats to create \"calm-down plans,\" and books paired with themed plushies will help reinforce positive coping strategies in a fun, relatable way.\r\nYour contribution has created a safe haven where every child feels seen, valued, and supported.
