Give your kids the tools you wish you had growing up.
Rooted in movement.
Powered by play.
Designed to regulate, reconnect, and reset.
Tears. Yelling. Meltdowns in the kitchen over the blue cup.
And deep down, that feeling of helplessness: "How do I reach them?"
I’ve been there. I’ve tried the calm voice, the deep breaths, the counting.
But sometimes, what they really need isn’t to calm down—it’s to move through.
That’s where this deck comes in.
These Somatic Cards were born out of one simple truth:
Kids don’t need fixing.
They need tools to move their big energy safely.
And we get to give that to them.
24 printable movement-based cards rooted in somatic wisdom
Designed to help kids shake, stomp, flap, thump, and wiggle their way back to balance
Each card is labelled with a colour:
Red = Release
Green = Reconnect
Blue = Reset
Includes a Parent Quick Guide so you know how to use them on the fly
This is the support you didn’t know you were missing.
Print once. Use forever. No batteries. Just body wisdom.
Kids experience the world through their bodies.
When emotions get big, they get stuck.
Somatic play helps:
Move emotion without shame
Restore calm through the body (not just words)
Give kids a yes when everything else feels like a no
You’ll start to see:
Faster recovery after meltdowns
Playful connection instead of power struggles
Kids reaching for cards on their own (yes, really)
Bonus: Free Parent Support Guide Included
Because tools are only helpful if you feel confident using them. I got you.
This is your gentle rebellion
Against the old ways of parenting.
Against disconnection.
Against telling our kids to calm down without showing them how.Let’s raise a generation that knows how to move through their big feelings.
And let’s start with a deck of cards, a little bit of magic, and a lot of love.
Ages 2–9 is the sweet spot, but even as an adult and parent I love to use them for myself too!
Instant digital download after purchase. You can print them at home or your local printer.
That’s why I made the parent guide—it’s super simple and zero fluff.
Somatic play is just a fancy way of saying — ‘Let’s help kids move big emotions through their bodies instead of bottling them up.’ That’s what this whole card deck is about.
