Ocean Depths - Feelings Below the Surface

Ocean – Feelings Below the Surface is a ThinkBox theme that invites children to explore the calm, depth, and movement of their emotions through ocean-inspired sensory play. Guided by the rhythms of water and the mystery of the sea, this box helps children develop emotional awareness, bravery, and self-trust in a soothing, reflective way.

Each box includes:

• Calming blue sand in a white tray
• Themed objects
• 12 SEL activities focused on emotional identification, resilience, and inner calm
• Prompts that gently surface hidden feelings, offer grounding, and build reflection skills
• Screen-free, tactile experiences that help children feel seen, safe, and steady

SEL Focus:

• Emotional identification and self-awareness
• Coping strategies for overwhelm and anxiety
• Confidence, courage, and self-expression
• Creating a safe emotional space through metaphor and play

Ideal for ages 6–14, this box supports any child navigating big feelings or needing a calm way to connect with what’s going on inside—without pressure, and with plenty of imagination.

“Sometimes what matters most is just below the surface—waiting to be named.” — ThinkBox philosophy
