Over the half-term period our Children and Young Persons Service hosted some sessions, including a creative activity for our attendees!
They made some breathing wands as a useful tool for mindfulness.
The focus being to visibly breathe in and blow out onto their wand and to watch it below, to regulate their breaths.
Interested in creating a breathing wand? They can be easily put together using household items. Give it a go!
Things you’ll need:
- A toilet paper towel roll
- Anything you’d like to use to decorate
- Thin ribbon, or anything that is light enough to be moved by breath
How to put together:
- Cut a small strip off the top of one toilet paper roll
- Stick it to the top of another, shaped like an arch
- Attach your ribbons to the arch
- Decorate!
- Then you can start to use
