Coping Skills Toolbox Craft

Client can process that just like a real toolbox contains different tools for different jobs, we all need a variety of coping skills to help us through life’s challenges.

This Coping Skills Toolbox is an engaging, hands-on activity that grows with your client throughout treatment. Instead of learning coping skills one at a time and forgetting them, children build their own personalized toolbox by adding a new coping “tool” as each strategy is introduced in therapy, school counseling, or at home.

This resource is perfect for helping children visualize that there isn’t one coping skill that works for every situation. As their toolbox fills, so does their confidence in handling difficult emotions and challenges.

Included:

• Printable toolbox in three sizes
• Multiple toolbox cover options (including blank covers for customization)
• 12 printable, blank tool pieces for personalized coping skills
• Assembly instructions
• Therapist guide with activity ideas and discussion prompts
• Coping skill idea list for inspiration
• Processing questions

Whether you’re introducing coping skills for the first time or reinforcing strategies throughout treatment, this resource provides a fun, memorable way for children to build a toolbox they can continue using long after therapy ends.
