Feelings Detective Workbook Printable for Kids | Coping Skills + Clue Cards

FEELINGS DETECTIVE: A Case File for Big Feelings (Printable PDF Set) (Also includes A4 version)
Big feelings aren’t “bad”—they’re clues. This cozy detective-themed workbook helps children build emotional awareness and coping skills through gentle questions, simple tools, and a repeatable “investigation” routine.

What’s Included (Instant Download):

Feelings Detective Workbook (31 pages) — detective training, feeling intensity scale, case intake pages, body & thought clues, toolkit, helper signals, case notes, and a parent/guardian guide.

Detective Clue Cards (12 cards) — quick in-the-moment tools like breathing, grounding, stretching, cold water, cozy corner, problem-solving, kind thoughts, and asking for help (plus card backs).

How to Use (simple + realistic):

Use after the feeling has calmed down a bit (not mid-meltdown).

Pick one page to complete (you don’t have to do it all).

Choose one tool to try next time.

Keep the clue cards somewhere easy to grab (calm-down corner, backpack, car).

Printing Tips:

Print the workbook on regular paper.

Print clue cards on cardstock for best results (laminate if you want them durable).

Cards can be printed single-sided for wall display, or double-sided with backs if you prefer.

Important Note:
This is a learning tool for everyday emotional skills. It is not a substitute for professional support. If you have concerns about a child’s mental health or safety, please consult a qualified professional.
