Unzip the Calm: Inside the Simply Calm Kit (That the Kids Will Actually Love)

How to Use Our Calm Kits: A Simple Guide to Big Calm

At Simply Undefined, our Calm Kits were created by moms (and sisters!) who understand that kids need more than just “quiet time” - they need tools to self-regulate, express big feelings, and feel safe doing it. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, therapist, or caregiver, here’s how to get the most out of your Calm Kit.

What’s Inside a Calm Kit?

Each kit is thoughtfully curated and may include:

How to Use It?

1. Create a Calm Corner

Choose a cozy spot with a soft chair, blanket, or floor pillow. Keep the Calm Kit nearby so kids know where to go when they need space to reset.

2. Teach Before the Storm

Introduce the kit during a peaceful moment - not during a meltdown. Practice using the tools together so your child knows how each one can help.

3. Let Your Child Lead

Some kids love the dough, others go straight for the gum, brush, or cards. That’s the beauty of it - it’s flexible and child-led. Offer gentle guidance, not strict instructions.

4. Use the Calm Cards as a Check-In

The cards are perfect for mornings, after school, or anytime emotions feel “big.” They encourage emotional vocabulary, reflection, and mindfulness.

 🎒Calm on the Go

Life gets busy - and so do emotions. That’s why our kits are made for real-life moments, including travel. Toss a full kit or a mini version in your bag for:

• Car rides

• Doctor’s appointments

• School transitions or after-school downtime

• Restaurants and waiting rooms

• Airplane travel – Our kits are TSA-friendly and ideal for nervous flyers or long flights. No liquids, no worries - just calming tools ready for takeoff.

Keep a few key pieces - like gum, a fidget, our essential oil roller, or a brush—in your purse, backpack, or glovebox so calm is always close by.

Tips for Success

• Model using the tools yourself - kids learn by watching!

• The brush can be gently used on hands, arms, or legs for calming input - just be sure to follow your child’s comfort cues

• Gum is great during transitions or when your child needs extra oral sensory input

• Refresh your kit seasonally or with new favorites

• For neurodiverse children, consistency and predictability make a big difference

• Use the essential oil roller during transitions (bedtime, school drop-off, etc.)

Calm Kits don’t “fix” emotions - they give kids a way to move through them with confidence. Think of your kit as a bridge: from overwhelm to peace, frustration to understanding, chaos to calm.

🌈Our Sensory - Friendly Promise

At Simply Undefined, we believe that every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and seen. That’s why every product we create is thoughtfully designed with sensory needs in mind - from our calming dough jars and essential oils to our fidget-friendly tools.

Whether your child is neurodiverse, highly sensitive, or simply benefits from calming support, our kits offer tools to help them regulate, reconnect, and feel their best.

 What Sensory-Friendly Means to Us:

• Inclusive for All Kids & Teens

Our products are designed to support a wide range of sensory preferences, attention needs, and emotional regulation goals - without singling anyone out.

• Tactile-Friendly Materials

We prioritize soft, squishy, non-toxic materials that feel good in little hands and soothe big emotions.

• Smell-Safe & Gentle Scents

Our essential oils are light, kid-safe, and selected for calm - not overwhelm.

• Flexible, Not Rigid

There’s no “right” way to use our kits. Kids can explore at their own pace, in their own way.

• TSA-Friendly & Travel-Ready

Sensory support shouldn’t stop at home. Our kits go wherever you do - appointments, school, car rides, or airplanes.

 Why It Matters

For many children - including those with autism, ADHD, anxiety, PANS or PANDA or sensory processing difference - daily life can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to make it a little easier, a little calmer, and a lot more supported

 💛Built with Heart

As a sister-owned brand inspired by our own kids, we know firsthand how powerful small moments of calm can be. We’re proud to create tools that feel like love, support, and a safe space—wherever your child needs it.

 Why Our Calm Kits Work (According to Research)

At Simply Undefined, we design every product with intention - and a whole lot of heart. But we also want you to know: our Calm Kits aren’t just comforting because they’re cute (though they are!). They’re effective because they’re grounded in real research about how kids process the world around them - especially when that world feels overwhelming.

Here’s a breakdown of why our kits work and how they can support your child in everyday sensory situations.

 1. Sensory Play Helps Kids Regulate

Sensory input is how kids understand their world. When things feel “too loud,” “too bright,” or “too fast,” their nervous system may go into overdrive. Research shows that tactile and proprioceptive input (like squishing dough or applying gentle pressure) can help kids self-soothe by calming the body’s stress response.

Our kits support this by including:

• Squishy sensory dough for grounding touch and resistance

• Soft sensory brushes for calming skin input

• Chewing gum to offer oral-motor regulation and focus

 2. Kids Cope Better When They Can Name Their Feelings

It’s hard to process big feelings when you don’t have the words for them. Visual prompts and emotional check-ins help kids recognize what they’re feeling and what they might need. This is especially important for neurodiverse children or nonverbal communicators.

Our kits support this with:

• Calm Cards for mindful check-ins and coping ideas

• Gentle prompts that build emotional vocabulary over time

 3. Fidgeting Isn’t a Distraction - It’s a Strategy

Movement tools like fidgets can improve focus, reduce restlessness, and support attention by giving the brain extra sensory input.

That’s why we include:

• Durable, handheld fidget tools that spin, squeeze, or twist

• Quiet options perfect for classrooms, transitions, or car rides

 4. Scent Can Calm the Body and Mind

You’ve probably felt it yourself: how a calming scent like lavender can instantly shift your mood. Research supports this too - certain essential oils may help lower heart rate, reduce anxiety, and signal the brain to relax.

Our calming rollers are:

• Kid-safe and lightly scented

• Easy to apply to wrists, neck, or palms during transitions

• A non-verbal, hands-on way to ground and soothe

 5. Portability = Predictability

For kids with sensory sensitivities, unpredictability is hard. New places, loud crowds, or long waits can be a challenge. Having familiar tools ready to go can reduce anxiety by creating a sense of routine and control - even when everything else feels new.

Our kits are:

• Compact, mess-free, and TSA-friendly

• Perfect for car rides, flights, restaurants, and appointments

• Designed to be used anywhere, anytime

 In a World That Moves Fast, Our Kits Slow Things Down

Whether your child is neurodiverse, highly sensitive, dealing with anxiety, or just having a tough day - our Calm Kits are built to meet them where they are. No pressure. No shame. Just helpful tools for feeling safe, regulated, and understood.

Because at the end of the day, that’s what we all need:

A little more calm. A little more connection. A little more care.
