Regulation & Mindfulness Activity Cards
This collection of ideas and activities are designed to help promote regulation and mindfulness skills for kids and youth.
These activities can help kids to feel more calm and settled by learning to connect with their senses, get their brain and body working together, understand their emotions, and express themselves.
Developed by SeaStar, this package includes printable cards, colouring pages, and Do-It-Yourself instructions to make items and activities using common, low-cost everyday items.
Note that some activities suggest the use of small parts and may not suitable for children under 3 years.
