Of course, we are bias, but we think this is a lovely introduction into the world of colouring for anyone who hasn’t tried it as a grown up. It’s also fantastic if you are a seasoned colourer and are looking for a new book to add to your collection.

Try to avoid distractions, this is about gaining focus. I did mindfully colour when my children were around but I find I’m more absorbed when I’m on my own. As children work hard colouring in their designs, these mindfulness activities will help them to remain focused, and become more aware of the present moment. Once they are complete, you can put their wonderful mindfulness colouring creations up on the wall to inspire and motivate them throughout the school day. Print as many sheets as you need and ask children to choose one they like best to encourage engagement and responsibility for their own learning. We’ve created two colourful PowerPoint presentations for you to share with your children to give them a brilliant overview. Here’s our KS2 International Happiness Day PowerPoint for older children and our International Happiness Day PowerPoint for your KS1 or EYFS children. These lovely presentations explore all about happiness and how we can help others to feel happy. There’s also a thoughtful reflection activity to support children in reflecting on what they’ve learnt and ways in which they can boost their happiness each day.

What does this set of Mindfulness Colouring Pages contain?

Mindful colouring first entered my life in Costco. Yes, in the most overloaded of places I was introduced to one of my most calming pastimes. In the book section, my sister-in-law – an occupational therapist – handed me a book she claimed would benefit me (and my stress levels) massively. It was a colouring book for adults. This International Day of Happiness PowerPoint explains when and why the day is celebrated. It helps pupils in KS1 understand the impact of happiness on mental health and wellbeing, and how to make happiness a priority in their own lives and the lives of others. Our Growth Mindset Activity is the perfect visual tool to help your class learn how to identify and differentiate between positive and negative statements. Before we discuss specific colors that elicit happiness, you might be wondering why knowing this information matters. The best way to explain it is through an interior design example.

As a human, you are wired to respond to certain stimuli. When you see things, the first thing your brain senses is the colors of whatever it is you are seeing. It’s a fact that certain colors tell your brain exactly what you are looking at long before you know what it is by form and substance.

How do I make a personalised bookmark? I’m Stacy, and I remember the exact moment in sixth grade when I realized I wanted to be a writer. I spent the next decade or so getting straight A’s in English, writing for my school newspaper, failing the SATs with epic splendor, and dropping out of community college thanks to depression and anxiety (among other things). I then completed two correspondence courses with The Institute of Children’s Literature and had a short story published by a local library. We experience many different emotions in our day-to-day lives. Some are unpleasant responses to bad things that happen, but others are much better to get to experience.

Don’t judge your work. Mindfulness = no judgement. There is no right or wrong, it’s just a form of self-expression. RELATED: What I learnt about happiness from a Buddhist Monk Colours to influence your mood
