Description

Take a moment to feel calmer and less stressed with these 50 simple mindfulness activities for kids.

This book gives children, teachers and parents ideas for how to introduce more mindful moments into their lives. The book is broken into six sections: Mindful Breathing, Mindful Listening, Mindful Looking, Mindful Emotions, Mindful Awareness and Mindful Appreciation. Each section includes advice as well as practical activities. There are also one-minute exercises that are perfect for time-poor teachers and parents and children with short attention spans.

Activities are relevant for different times. Begin the day with some affirmations, aspirations and positivity. Take a moment at lunchtime to engage in mindful eating. Re-energise after lunch with some simple stretches. Release tension in the evening with deep breaths and mindful de-cluttering to help you sleep.

Soft, sensitive illustrations will add to the mood of calm.

Create some mindful moments in your life with these simple activities.
