The Calm Notes Newsletter is a gentle way to hear what is new in the Valley of Calm. It shares new Menthol Elf resources, storybook releases, family and classroom ideas, and careful wellbeing notes for adults supporting children aged 4-11.
What You Can Expect
- New printable resources for home, calm corners, story time, and classroom wellbeing conversations.
- Updates when new Menthol Elf books, web storybooks, or downloadable editions are released.
- Gentle reminders for mental health awareness days, school calendar moments, and seasonal wellbeing themes.
- Simple, story-linked prompts that help children notice, name, and talk about feelings without shame.
- Occasional project news from the Valley of Calm as new places, characters, and tools are added.
For Families And Schools
The newsletter is written for parents, carers, teachers, pastoral staff, and school leaders who want warm, practical emotional literacy ideas they can return to in everyday moments.
Each note keeps things simple: one useful update, one gentle idea, and clear links to any new stories or resources that may help at home or in school.

A Gentle Boundary
Menthol Elf supports emotional literacy, family conversation, and school wellbeing discussion. Newsletter content is not therapy, counselling, crisis support, safeguarding advice, or a replacement for professional help where a child or adult needs additional support.
What The Newsletter Is For
The Calm Notes Newsletter is for adults who want gentle Menthol Elf updates without having to check the website every week. It can include new story releases, printable resources, blog notes, classroom ideas, family prompts, and occasional project news from the Valley of Calm.
Each issue is intended to be useful and calm rather than noisy. A family might find a bedtime conversation prompt; a teacher might find a seasonal wellbeing idea; a school leader might notice a new resource that supports emotional literacy across a year group or nurture setting.
Newsletter content keeps the same boundaries as the wider website. Menthol Elf supports emotional literacy and wellbeing conversation, but it is not therapy, crisis support, safeguarding advice, or a replacement for professional help where a child or adult needs additional care.
