Calming Colouring for Kids

Product Information

Not only do they encourage children to focus their attention, but they are great for developing fine motor skills in your Year 1-6 classes. Colouring is known to help the brain enter a meditative state, reducing stress and anxiety and leading to feelings of calm relaxation and contentment. We have forest school on a Thursday and there's often a 15 minutes gap between the time we get back and when the children go for lunch, so nice to have something to hand to give them for that time. 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. If you are looking for a variety of ways to bring mindfulness into the classroom, look no further than Twinkl!

As my followers will know, suffering from anxiety and depression was a big catalyst in starting colouring and indeed creating this blog.Including these fun space-themed colouring sheets, cute food colouring pages, tea colouring sheets, tree colouring sheets, netball team colouring pages, and our Australian animals colouring pages. I love the Birthday Cake colour by numbers sheet and the Lion colour by numbers sheet for these activities. Each product has been designed with therapeutic strategies in mind as I am a trained therapist, however, they DO NOT replace the advice of a medical professional. Everyone needs a calm moment now and again, and that's why we've created these mindfulness colouring pages for kids.

Simply ask your child to imagine they are blowing out a candle and get them to gently breathe in and out, taking a lovely Birthday Cake Breaths. The other option is to take a Lion Breath and ask your child to notice their inner bravery, then take a big breath and roar like a lion.
