Four shape-outline coloring pages — a teddy bear, a butterfly, an umbrella, and a beach ball — each spell out four coping strategies in words that trace the outline of the shape, and students color each section using the color assigned to that strategy (for example, the teddy bear's stress-ball section is colored dark brown, its breathing section pink). A fifth page, titled ‘16 Coping Skills Strategies,’ lists all sixteen strategies used across the four shapes as a single grid, functioning as a stand-alone reference chart independent of the coloring pages. Strategies range from physical actions like taking a walk or squeezing a stress ball to social ones like talking to an adult or asking for a hug, giving students a visual menu of self-regulation options rather than a single fixed routine.
