28 EIGHT PRODUCTS TO HELP CHILDREN COPE WITH ANXIETY From toys, books, and letters, to apps and meditation tools, here are a few resources we think you’ll love.

Magni Rings

Pocket Dolls

Magical Fairy Letters

The newest fidget toy on the market is this set of three spinning rings lined with super-strong rare earth magnets that you can spin, flip, play, trick, and stick. Kids will love watching YouTube tutorials to learn how to perform tricks.

These dolls - small enough to fit in a pocket or pencil case as a secret friend - are specifically designed to support children with anxiety.

The International Elf Service is a unique letter writing resource that provides bespoke fairy letters to help children cope with anxious times.

Each doll comes with an essential oil which can be used on the child’s pulse points or directly on the doll itself to provide comfort.

Each letter contains special advice to help a child cope with their anxieties, and topics include: ‘The worry blaster,’ ‘The bad dream chaser,’ ‘Secrets & trust,’ and ‘Missing a loved one.’

They can be effectively used by children with anxiety as a distraction whenever they feel overwhelmed. Available from Amazon, £4
