$99.99 $139.98· free shipping over $75 to the contiguous US

What the kit includes

Six components, plus whatever decorations you want to add.

Teacher Guide

Centered around three concepts: evidence-based breathing techniques, why breathing and mindfulness matters, and how to model the behavior.

Calmee the Caterpillar

The plush breathing tool, and the added benefit of Calmee the Class Pet.

Class Journal

A shared record for the class as students learn and practice the techniques.

Tree stump sitting cushion

A seat that marks where calming happens, so the corner is a place before anyone needs it.

Expandable breathing ball

It expands and contracts like our lungs, so students can match their breath to something they can see.

Hand-breathing + Emotions poster

An easy visual reminder for a breathing technique that students of all ages and abilities can understand.

A study found that students receiving the program were rated with fewer conduct problems and improved social competence and prosocial behavior over time relative to control students.

Created by our founder Sarah Habib, who has extensive experience in teaching mindfulness to kids of all ages and backgrounds.

What a calm corner is

A “calm corner” is a designated space where students can go to relax when experiencing difficult emotions, such as anger or frustration. Having a physical area to process emotions can be one of the keys to consistently practicing mindfulness.

There is more to creating a calm environment than adding a sitting cushion, which is why we offer classes that detail our mindfulness techniques that have been successful for over 10,000 children across public schools.

The teacher guide is centered around three main concepts

Evidence-based breathing techniques

Why breathing + mindfulness matters

How to model the behavior

We also encourage adding any additional decorations to your calm corner to make it even more fun!

The corner stays part of the room, not apart from it.

The classroom kit

A calm corner is a routine, not just a corner.

Give students a predictable place, clear choices, and hands-on tools they can use without turning regulation into a reward, punishment, or performance.

Product questions

How is this different from the home kit?

This one comes with a Teacher Guide, a Class Journal, and the hand-breathing plus emotions poster. The Parent Class is not part of the classroom kit. Calm Corner for Home includes the Parent Field Guide and lifetime access to the Parent Class instead.

How much classroom space does it need?

One corner. Enough floor for the cushion, and a bit of wall for the poster. Several teachers run small baskets around the room instead of one fixed corner.

Is a calm corner a time-out?

No. It is somewhere a student chooses to go, not somewhere they are sent. The Teacher Guide covers how to introduce it that way, and how to model it yourself. See How It Works.

What are the shipping, return, and warranty terms?

See the Shipping Policy, the Refund Policy, and the Terms of service.
