Looking for a fun and effective way to help kids make sense of their worries? The Worry Lapbook is a hands-on resource that guides children through the key parts of understanding and managing this powerful emotion.
Designed for ages 5 to 9, this printable activity helps kids identify what makes them worry, notice how worry feels in their body, and explore positive ways to cope—all while cutting, assembling, and building their own interactive folder.
What’s Inside?
This resource is packed with kid-friendly pieces that come together to form a complete worry toolkit:
Worry Triggers – A flap book where kids can reflect on what makes them feel worried.
Worry Signs – Physical clues like an upset stomach or fidgeting (behavior).
Calming Thought - An activity to help kids turn worry thoughts into helpful ones.
Worry Tookbox – A playful section to collect and choose their favorite calming tools.
Worry Check-In – Identify the worry, rate how big it feels, and choose a coping strategy.
How to Assemble the Lapbook
To create the lapbook, you’ll just need a file folder (or a large piece of cardstock) and a glue stick or tape.
Fold the folder so the sides meet in the middle (like shutters).
Cut out the pieces and go through each one with your child or student.
Talk about what each part means as you build the lapbook together.
Take your time. Complete it all at once or over several short sessions.
It’s simple, hands-on, and engaging. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or school counselor, this tool fits perfectly into your home, classroom, or small group setting.

The color and relax coloring pages were part of a complete bundle I purchased. While I have not yet used the coloring pages (most of the kids I have for clients do not have the patience needed for the detailed color pages), I have put together the My Worry Lapbook and am planning to use the worry crafts for kids this week. The kids really like the lapbook (I have the anger one as well and have used it with several clients).
I am a support teacher in an Irish Primary School and I support kids from 5years to 12 years both academically, socially and emotionally. I have a particular interest in the social and emotional support of kids and have been exhausted trawling through websites and books for ideas to support the kids in my care . Clara’s Special Tales has been a sheer magic find !!! It has absolutely everything i need to support these kids and i’m delighted with it !!! Thank you so much !!!
I use these materials all the time! They are so helpful in simplifying topics for the students I work with as well as providing fun activities for group sessions. Thank you for all these resources!
