The Calm Ball – Therapist-Designed Coping Skills Magic 8 Ball with 20 Calming Strategies & Guidebook – Emotional Regulation Tool & Mental Health Gift for Teens, Adults, Therapists & Classrooms

I got mine several days ago!! I’m an SBHP (mental health professional) in an elementary school, and I’m always looking for grab-n-choose items or “toys” that my kiddos can use when they’re in distress or in crisis. This product is so neat, and is just like the old toy we all know and love from our own childhood, but with a fantastic mindfulness and mental health spin!! I use Mindfulness as my main approach and practice with my students, and so I love this! As soon as we opened it up that night, my daughter and wife and I sat around the coffee table and took turns shaking it and looking up and reading the various calming strategies that appeared in the window. And wondering how you got 20 SIDES (like a die) into one piece!! In the booklet, I loved reading about Getting Into The Flow! I know most of the other stuff. But that was newer to me. So cool! It’s great that there’s a digital copy of the pocket-sized booklet, too, so I can access a bigger copy for use with my kiddos! Thank you!!

Cute idea for someone who is self-coping or studying mental health. Only thing I dislike is that it's hard to see what's written on the die.

I would recommend this to anyone with anxiety. It was for my 9 year old daughter and it has definitely helped her a lot. The size is exactly the same as the regular magic 8 ball. Functions just as well. It comes with a handy little book to go with it. Great value!

I've been using this for almost a month now, and I love it! The guidebook it comes with is super helpful and gives thorough explanations of the coping skills. Sometimes the die might fall on a corner, but just like an old magic 8-ball, a little shake and the message appears. My 11 year old niece really loved using this when she was visiting as well.

Cool concept but difficult to read the words in the die

Love this! Quite a conversation piece! A new twist on an old favorite! 2 thumbs up on this purchase :)

This was returned. I purchased this to help me to relax during the day and enjoy something unique. However. It is hard to read the words. I did not feel this was a tool that could be used for the purpose it stated.

Cute, easy to use. Nothing too special honestly
