Breathing Wand

 

A breathing wand can be made with simple household items. Check out the link below for how to make one. Learning how to control your breathing is an important part of mindfulness. Children can use their breathing want as a visual for their breathing as it will give them a tangible way to be mindful with each breath.

Glitter Jars

 

So that children can be mindful of their emotions, it’s important that they have a chance to calm down when they are feeling big emotions. Anger, anxiety, sadness or stress can stop a child from being mindful. A glitter jar is the perfect solution to helping children calm down. By shaking the jar and watching the glitter swirl around, children become relaxed and calm so that they can begin to be more mindful of how they are feeling. https://preschoolinspirations.com/glitter-jars/
