Mindfulness. Being present in the immediate. Slowing thoughts, breath and body to feel into all that is right now. This blissful, calm state is one that we’d all love in our classrooms a little more often, right? Incorporating mindfulness activities into your daily classroom routines is one way to incite this kind of calm. Mindfulness colouring is another!
What Makes Mindfulness Colouring So Great?
What we love the most about mindfulness colouring is that it is so simple and easy to do. While some students might struggle at first with other more active mindfulness practices, mindfulness colouring, by its very nature, helps even the most active and busy child (and adult!) slow down a little.
We have a great series of printable mindfulness colouring sheets that you can use in your classroom.
How to Use Mindfulness Colouring in the Classroom
Here are some wonderful ways you can use these mindfulness colouring sheets with your students.
(1) Mindfulness Colouring as a Reward
Colouring in is a fun reward that students of most ages enjoy. You may like to use these mindfulness colouring in sheets as part of a classroom reward system.
(2) Mindfulness Colouring as a Fast Finisher Activity
Similar to use as a classroom reward, the colouring pages make a fantastic fast finisher activity.
(3) Make a Mindfulness Colouring Book
Photocopy a selection of mindfulness colouring pages into a booklet for students to work on progressively.
(4) Mindfulness Colouring Classroom Display
Perhaps my most favourite idea is to create a mindfulness colouring classroom display. We have a beautiful customisable Mindfulness Colouring Letter Set and Mindfulness Colouring Letter Bunting Flags.
You could print either of these out to use as the display banner. Then, as students complete more and more mindfulness colouring sheets, they can add their completed pages to the display.
(5) Mindfulness Colouring Pinwheel
Last, but not least, is this gorgeous Mindfulness Colouring in Pinwheel Activity. This template ties in beautifully with the pinwheel activity in our Mindfulness Activity Task Cards.
