Why the DIY SEL Kit Is the Perfect Starting Point for Families
Every parent wants to raise children who are kind, resilient, and emotionally aware. But let’s be honest — it’s not always easy to know where to start. That’s why we created the DIY Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Kit — a budget-friendly, print-at-home option that helps families introduce SEL tools and activities right away.
Here’s why parents are loving the DIY Kit:
1. Affordable, Accessible, and Instant
We believe every family deserves access to SEL. The DIY Kit is a downloadable version of our most-loved tools, giving you the flexibility to:
Print at home or at your local copy shop
Laminate, cut, or even turn pages into magnets
Use right away — no shipping delays
It’s SEL on your terms.
2. Core SEL Tools at Your Fingertips
The DIY Kit includes printable versions of essentials like:
Emotion flashcards and coloring pages
Calm-down strategy cards (like breathing tools and puppets)
Weekly feelings charts and progress trackers
Gratitude jar slips and family connection activities
You’ll have everything you need to start meaningful emotional conversations at home.
3. Customizable for Your Family’s Needs
The beauty of the DIY Kit is its flexibility. Families can:
Print multiples of favorite activities
Add color or keep black-and-white for coloring fun
Place tools on the fridge, in a playroom, or create a “peace corner”
It adapts to your child’s age, personality, and your family’s lifestyle.
4. Encourages Creative Play and Expression
Because so many pieces are hands-on (like puppet templates and dice games), children learn emotional skills while playing. Parents tell us their children love coloring emotion cards, decorating gratitude slips, and proudly displaying their weekly feelings chart.
5. Builds Emotional Awareness Without Overwhelm
If you’re curious about social-emotional learning but not ready to dive into a full kit, the DIY Kit makes it simple to try. Small steps like daily check-ins and gratitude slips can create big shifts in how your child communicates and connects.
6. A Bridge to the Full SEL Kit
The DIY Kit is a wonderful standalone resource — but it also prepares families for the Full SEL Kit. You’ll see the impact of consistent emotional practice at home and can decide when you’re ready to expand with the complete set of physical tools.
Final Thought
The DIY SEL Kit makes emotional learning affordable, flexible, and fun. With a few printed pages, you’ll start building confidence, communication, and connection that lasts a lifetime.
