The Summer Worksheet Bundle by A Duck's Therapist® is a comprehensive 20+ page collection of evidence-based mental health worksheets designed specifically for children. Created and tested by a Licensed Professional Counselor, this bundle uses vibrant summer-themed imagery — beach balls, popsicles, flip flops, sunglasses, watermelons, and more — to make therapeutic concepts feel approachable, fun, and developmentally appropriate.
Each worksheet engages children in meaningful reflection across four core therapeutic domains: Emotions, Coping Skills, Strengths, and Behaviors. The bundle bridges clinical practice and real-world application, making it suitable for therapists, school counselors, parents, and educators in individual, group, and classroom settings.
The worksheets incorporate expressive art therapy techniques — coloring, drawing, and decorating — alongside reflective writing prompts, making them accessible for a wide range of ages, literacy levels, and learning styles. Shame-reducing language and playful imagery create a safe, inviting space for children to explore complex emotional experiences.
This bundle is ideal for summer therapy sessions, school transition support, social-emotional learning (SEL) curricula, and at-home family use. The seasonal theme helps children connect therapeutic concepts to a familiar, positive time of year, increasing engagement and retention.
