Calm Down Corner Posters - Boho Rainbow Classroom Decor

What is a calm down corner? It’s a dedicated safe space in your classroom where children can learn and practice breathing exercises, explore calming strategies, and develop healthy emotional regulation throughout the school year. It's a place where kids can learn to calm their bodies and minds, refocus their attention, and get back to feeling their best.

Think of calming visual supports like breathing technique posters (box breathing, star breathing, and more), feelings charts, and other mindfulness activities. These resources help kids learn to manage their emotions, understand how they're feeling, and get back to learning quickly.

With a set of 22 stylish calm down corner posters, the Boho Rainbow Calm Down Kit makes it easy to set up a calming and supportive space whether in your classroom, SEL corners, therapy space, or homeschool. This printable and child-friendly resource features a minimalist design with a warm neutral boho color palette and soft muted rainbow tones, creating a soothing space for kids. Pair it with the Boho Rainbow Classroom Decor Bundle to create a cohesive and inviting learning environment.
