Monster Zip/Unzip Calm Down Tool

I love these monster pencil case holders I got from Amazon (click here to check out my Amazon affiliate link). They completely unzip down to nothing, which is really unexpected and catches a kid off guard.

They become fascinated and have to know more. It is a great distractor. I let kids zip and unzip until their frustrations have faded away and they are able to go back to class and get back to learning.

I can also use them in my classroom guidance lessons so that’s a huge bonus.

What fun, unexpected things do you have in your calm down kits?
