Mindfulness Activity Cards for Kids 

All you need is a few minutes.

Mindfulness every day gives you the wonderful benefits of feeling calm and present. We can gain more control over our emotions and decision-making. Mindfulness can help us to appreciate each of life’s small moments, too.

Use our Mindful Moments cards to teach the children in your life how to manage their emotions and be present.

Provide children the tools to develop their own mindfulness practice and form lifelong healthy habits.

Blended with breathing, light movement, reflection, and gratitude, these cards empower little ones to become calm, confident, and relaxed.
