Our Review

This engaging activity book offers young children practical tools for developing mindfulness skills through hands-on exercises and creative projects. The pages guide kids through simple techniques like mindful breathing and sensory awareness games that help build focus and emotional awareness. Activities range from creating calming glitter jars to practicing attentive eating, all designed to make abstract concepts of mindfulness accessible and enjoyable. The interactive approach transforms what could be complex ideas into concrete experiences children can immediately understand and apply.

What sets this resource apart is how it balances educational value with genuine fun, making emotional regulation skills feel like playful exploration rather than instruction. The inclusion of an illustrated journal section provides space for personal reflection, allowing children to document their mindfulness journey in their own words and drawings. Parents seeking to introduce their 6-10 year olds to stress management techniques will find this particularly valuable, as the activities foster both self-awareness and coping strategies. Through these carefully crafted exercises, children develop foundational skills for navigating big feelings and finding calm in their daily lives.
