First Name * Please enter a First Name Please enter a valid First Name, the maximum length is 50 characters. There are no complicated instructions and they won't need any special equipment, only pens, pencils and their own creativity are needed to enjoy this charming book. Thanks for these, my classes love them, we are using in them in school this week for Well Being Week (NZ).

Another fun breathing activity could be to count breaths and use colours, eg Breathe in 1/red, breathe out 2/orange, imaging the colours with each inhale and exhale. If you think of colouring like a mental exercise, then you're keeping your brain active, healthy and improving coordination. Here, over 80 hand-drawn illustrations from nature provide leaves, petals, seeds, trees, and landscapes just waiting for a touch of colour from pens, pencils, felt tips or paints. The illustrations are fairly simple without a huge amount of detail (which can be stressful on the eye to even look at sometimes), and feel very comforting and sweet.Everyone needs a calm moment now and again, and that's why we've created these mindfulness colouring pages for kids. I then set down the sheets for my little boy to choose from and we matched the colours with the crayons. The aim is to take the pages and turn them into a mini-booklet (multi up, double-sided so it's small), and he has 10 mins of colouring at the end of the day.

Simply print out the colouring pages and keep them handy with a pack of pencils for those that might need a quiet moment. Colouring is known to help the brain enter a meditative state, reducing stress and anxiety and leading to feelings of calm relaxation and contentment. The colouring book is a companion to the highly recommended self-help book (which I also have a copy of) and includes excerpts from the book for you to ponder over whilst colouring. As my followers will know, suffering from anxiety and depression was a big catalyst in starting colouring and indeed creating this blog. Mindfulness is the process of keeping your attention and thoughts on the present moment and can help to improve mood, concentration, focus and well-being.

You can help show the benefits of activities like this to children, so they can see the importance of practising ways to improve their wellbeing. Requiring focus on a small scale, colouring in is a refreshing way to practice mindful attentiveness while reigniting your creative side. I understand you will use my personal data to improve services and send me marketing communications.
