Free Calm-Down Printable: “When I Feel Angry” – A Toddler-Friendly Story

Big feelings like anger can be hard for little ones to handle. They might yell, stomp, or throw toys, not because they’re “bad,” but because they’re still learning how to express themselves.

This gentle printable story, "When I Feel Angry," is made just for toddlers and preschoolers who need support understanding what’s happening inside their bodies, and what they can do to calm down.

I use this story with my home daycare kids, and it really helps! You can read it before tough moments or after a meltdown as part of a calming routine.
