Give each child a cutout of a butterfly or a similar shape. Have the child sit quietly and try to balance the butterfly on his/her nose, holding it there for several seconds. After having the opportunity to practice in a group several times, give all the children butterflies to keep in their cubbies. Encourage the children to use this technique when they feel the need to calm down.
