Pip's Play Cards
Cut them out. Pick one after a sheet, or any time!

Curl up small, like a turtle in its shell.
Your grown‑up counts three slow breaths.
Then come out v-e-r-y slowly!

Build a cushion castle.
Your grown‑up bumps it: "Whoops!"
You tuck in. Then say, "That made me cross. Can we build it again?"

Walk across the room as slowly as Tuck.
Your grown‑up calls, "Storm!"
Tuck in fast. Three breaths. Then walk on.

You are Tuck. Teach a teddy Turtle Time:
"Stop. Tuck in. Three breaths."
"Now, slowly... come out."

Dance like a wiggly bird!
When your grown‑up claps, tuck in and freeze.
Whisper, "I can calm down."

Your grown‑up draws a squiggle on your paper: "Oops!"
You tuck in. Then turn the squiggle into something new.
