Help children learn to manage their emotions anywhere and anytime through calming breathing practice with the Mindful Maze Garden Pack! The two portable, double-sided mazes feature 4 different breath patterns to introduce little ones to mindfulness and self-management. Each maze features a fun, nature-inspired theme and a soft-touch border that's easy to hold. Each maze features indented finger paths with tactile prompts for inhaling, exhaling, and pausing to guide children through breathing exercises from start to finish. Tracing the patterns repeatedly helps children develop fine motor skills and teaches them to maintain their focus and slow down. The breathing paths on these mazes are wide enough to fit a variety of loose materials, such as pom poms, dried beans, or rice. This expands children's multisensory exploration to allow them to see, touch, and experience breath patterns hands-on and connect with the way they are feeling. Children who develop the social-emotional skills to be aware of their feelings and act on them in socially appropriate ways are prepared for both academic and personal success. Deep, slow breathing calms children's minds and bodies, sending signals to their brains that they are safe when they feel overwhelmed or anxious. The Mindful Maze Garden Pack is the perfect visual and sensory tool to help children focus and practice self-regulation techniques. This set extends our best-selling Mindful Maze Set by incorporating a nature theme in a smaller maze. A screen free way to teach children how to sooth themselves by providing cues and physical objects to guide them through breathing exercises. Each of the Mindful Maze Boards offers a unique experience because each child needs different breathing activities for different situations. These Mindful Maze Boards would make a great addition to your calm down corner toys, classroom, daycare, or home calming corner!
