Charli’s Big Feelings & Gentle Pauses Kit

Charli’s Big Feelings & Gentle Pauses Kit 
Little tools for big feelings—and moments of connection.

Sometimes little ones have big feelings they can’t quite explain. Join Charli and her puppy Louie with playful printable tools that invite children to show how they feel, share what they need, and choose a gentle pause.

Created for ages 3–6 with a caring grown-up, this 30-page kit makes it easy to start small. Point to a feelings card, offer two comforting choices, or read a little story together. No perfect words required.

Inside your printable kit:

• Eight illustrated feelings cards and a feelings poster
• Communication cards for needs such as “I need a break,” “Please help me,” and “Too loud”
• Gentle-choice cards and a choice board featuring comfort items, headphones, movement, and more
• Optional breathing and tracing activities to explore at the child’s pace
• A Charli-and-Louie mini story, a pause poster, and a welcoming calm-space sign
• Personalized plans, drawing activities, and make-your-own cards
• Caregiver guidance and ink-friendly practice pages

Use it at home, in a preschool classroom, or in a cozy corner where every feeling is welcome. Children can point, gesture, draw, speak, or use their usual communication tools.

Print a few favorites or explore the whole kit—one little moment at a time.

Your download includes: One 30-page PDF, formatted for US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 inches). Print at 100% size. For use in one household or one classroom.

Big feelings. Big adventures. Little moments.
It’s okay to pause. 💜
