MATERIALS TO EXPLORE EMOTIONS & MINDFULNESS

HOOMKID I warmly recommend the Hoomkid—a screen-free audio device that empowers children to independently explore emotions and mindfulness. The Hoomkid is available in several languages and offers guided meditation, stories, sound, music, guided yoga pose, philosophical tales...

MINDFUL & Co offers beautiful materials to practice. Yoga cards, mindfulness games, breathing balls, etc.

Silkies: Wonderful tools to visualize the breathing, and for all sort of open play time. I warmly recommend non-synthetic silk. I love the brand Sarah’s Silk .
