Because childcare workers have a lot going on around them, including children and families who are hurting and in need of your energy and support, it can be normal to forget about your own needs. That’s why it’s important to remind yourself of all that you are. Self-care and appreciation practices can help with ground yourself and bringing about positive feelings in those times you need it most.

Welcome to Earth Day… An annual event that aims to raise awareness around the world about how we can protect our plant! In this post, we have included some Earth Day activity ideas for kids, that you can do at home or in the classroom. We hope you enjoy these creative activities, yoga poses, breathing exercises and mindful toolboxes that help with worldly well-being, healing and connection!

We can use our mindfulness tools to connect with our breath, bodies and minds, and also to those around us. But we want to expand on this by bringing awareness to how we can better connect with the environment and earth too. Through mindful practices and products, we can make a difference on planet earth through simple lifestyle tweaks and choices.

New spring mindfulness themes for the home, classroom and those who work with children include “Breaking Through Like A Lotus Through Mud” and “Gentle Breezes and Bluebirds.” Find yoga poses, creative activities, healing mantras, meditations for calm and more.

We hope you enjoy this “Brave Lion” interactive Mindful Activity Pack for families and classrooms. Follow along with Sabra The Lioness as she learns how to use Lion’s Breath to conquer her fears, join Alby and Friends with special guest Sammy the Lion for Lion’s Breath too! Also find a mantra for strength, creative activity, education about the world of lions as well as how we can make the earth a better place for them!

We hope you enjoy this theme around strength and bravery, to help the children in your home or classroom release overwhelming feelings and conquer their fears. Follow along with Sabra The Lioness to learn how she uses Lion’s Breath, and learn how to do Lion’s Breath with Alby and Friends!

Each mindful activity pack has been created with a focus on a particular theme, such as building resilience, or inviting calm into the day, and is suitable for one-to-one use or in group settings. We hope you enjoy exploring the content and find comfort in your hearts and minds!

“It was magnificent in its simplicity and in its effectiveness in getting the little kids to focus on their breathing. It calmed them down and put them into a relaxed state in no time."
