Open The Joy Mindful Crafts Kit for Kids – DIY Emotional Regulation Activities, Calming Tools, Stress Relief, and Mindfulness Art Projects for Children Ages 4 and Up

From the brand

Our journey started in a hospital room. My daughter was diagnosed with an incredibly rare disease requiring frequent hospitalizations, and as her mom, I was determined to make sure she stay strong emotionally, I wanted to teach her important life skills such as patience, resilience and self-confidence. I realized that the school didn’t teach this, neither did the toy industry. Nobody was focusing on the emotional intelligence of kids, so I did.

Our products are built to bring children fun and entertainment while also providing therapeutic benefits. Children will eagerly open their boxes to find a wide variety of activities to do, from coloring, to magic tricks, to fidget toys, talking cards and more. These items were carefully designed to develop motor skills, reduce stress, build confidence, and provide bonding opportunities for families.

Our mission at Open the Joy is to improve the lives of children suffering or recovering from illness, while also supporting their caregivers and families. Our Feel Better Collection is designed specifically to empower kids by lifting spirits, invoking laughter, healing through art and creating a sense of wonder and awe through magic.
