✨ For Parents and Educators:
This coloring page introduces children to the flower breathing technique — a simple mindfulness exercise where they imagine smelling a flower (breathe in) and then gently blowing out (like blowing on a dandelion). It's a wonderful tool to help young children manage big feelings, build emotional awareness, and practice calming down in a fun and engaging way.
Pair this activity with a quiet moment or story time to reinforce emotional wellness and self-regulation skills.
