Use this craft and activity to teach coping strategies for anxiety, anger, stress, and other strong emotions. Kids and young adults will complete a lesson to learn about coping strategies and then create an ice pop craft with their individualized strategies chosen. This craft includes over 30 unique coping strategies for kids and young adults to choose from. This would be the perfect spring or summer activity while still focusing on learning critical skills! Why Teach Coping Strategies Coping strategies are any activity that can help calm emotions and stress. Kids and young adults may often experience difficult emotions but do not have appropriate coping strategies for dealing with those feelings. Just some of the coping strategies discussed and practiced within this resource include: listening to music, taking a walk, coloring, deep breathing, focusing on an object, using positive self-talk, practicing yoga, counting to ten, talking to a friend, and much more. How to Use Students will complete a worksheet that discusses and reviews the concept of coping strategies. To complete the craft, kids will select 2 or more coping strategies, cut out all the pieces, and glue them together. Note that step-by-step directions with photos are included to make it easy! Kids can add as many coping strategies to their ice pop to make it taller! The top of the ice pop says "I can...", encouraging kids to internalize using those strategies to help them manage emotions. After completing their craft, kids are encouraged to practice those strategies, as it is essential for kids to practice those strategies when they are calm. This will allow kids to learn how to use those same strategies when they are angry, sad, frustrated, or any other strong emotion. Alternatively, a blank version is available for kids to write in their own completely individualized strategies. Some of the strategies include: • Use positive self-talk • Write in a journal • Take a walk • Practice yoga • Think of a happy place • Slowly count to ten • Listen to music • Color or draw • Talk to someone • Read • Make a list of choices • Take 5 deep breaths • And many more!

These barn wood Christmas trees are the perfect addition to your holiday decor! They will look fantastic and well displayed on your tabletop, fireplace, or office desk! The materials used to make these trees were salvaged from 100+ year old barns in the mid-west. Each tree is a truly one of a kind piece. The texture, age, and character each piece of wood used in this piece will add warmth to any room. The large size comes with a small “foot” on the back to help it stand. The medium and smaller size stand confidently on their own without any help. I make sure all trees stand on their own on a flat level surface before leaving my shop. Order each tree individually in the color and size that you need. This is for individual trees not sets of trees. The wood used for making these trees is not altered in color or texture from when it was salvaged off the barn. These are not painted or artificially aged, so no two are the same. These trees feature the desired color on only one side, double sided trees are not available. Due to the nature of using raw reclaimed wood, each piece will have a slight variations in color, texture, and size.

This fun pattern can be used to make a simple and fast wall hanging or you can use it to make an easy and cheery holiday table runner! Finished size is approximately 6" x 21". Embellishments are included in retail store locations only.
