Pentagon Play’s Mindfulness Colouring Book

Mindfulness is the ability to pay more attention to what is happening in the present moment to improve your mental wellbeing.  

In children, it brings many benefits as it instills the idea that they are in charge of their own thoughts and feelings: teaching them to turn towards difficult emotions instead of ignoring them.  

This means that it can help children control anxious or negative thoughts while teaching techniques they can use to feel calm and relaxed. Additionally, it improves their ability to pay attention, calm down when upset and make better decisions – helping with emotional regulation and cognitive focus. 

Mindful colouring enables children to focus on what they are doing in the current moment in time, choosing and applying colours to a page to bring their awareness to the present moment: a process that is similar to meditation.  

With everything going on in the world at the moment, we felt it was important children could practice mindfulness in an engaging, fun way while at home.

This is why we have created our very own Mindfulness Colouring Book full of our amazing playground schemes and playground products for children to colour in – focusing on the pen on the paper as they bring their awareness back what they are doing in the present.
