Hello friend! Whether you’re feeling fast, slow, or just right, these playful pages help children practise emotional regulation skills one small step at a time. Let’s count, trace, colour and draw together! Featuring Western Australian wildlife including kookaburras, quacking frogs and leafcutter bees, this story‑led activity book supports emotional regulation, fine‑motor practice and gentle conversations about “too fast”, “too slow” and “just right” feelings. It builds on the characters and themes introduced in Slow Down, Mabel from The Adventures of Mabel and Beryl series. Ways to use this book:– Use the “speed” prompts (slow / fast / just right) to check in with children before you begin an activity.– Invite children to choose pages that match how they feel today, rather than completing the book in order.– Counting and problem‑solving pages build number sense and visual discrimination, while tracing and cutting support fine‑motor control and hand strength.– Colouring and drawing pages encourage self‑expression; children can add their own details, stories and colours to match their mood.– Link activities back to story cues to deepen understanding and give real‑life examples of feelings, difference, friendship and connection.– Use this book in short bursts (5–10 minutes) as part of a calm‑down routine, transition between activities, or one‑on‑one time with a parent, teacher or therapist.
