This free printable Worry Monster Template is a fun and therapeutic craft activity designed to help children manage anxiety and let go of worries. Children are invited to cut out the monster template, fold it over, decorate the monster’s face, and write their worry inside the monster’s mouth—then close the mouth to symbolically “hide” or release the worry.
This calming and creative task supports emotional regulation and gives kids a safe way to express things that are bothering them. It can be used as a one-off activity or revisited regularly as part of a wider wellbeing routine.
Ideal for use in:
Classrooms, nurture groups, and PSHE lessons
Therapy and emotional support sessions
Foster care and early help family work
At home with parents and carers
A gentle, engaging way to help kids process difficult feelings and feel more in control of their emotions.
