Teaching tips:
This activity helps children reduce stress, improve focus, and promote relaxation by engaging their minds in a calming and creative task. It can be used throughout the school day to help children re-regulate and refocus as needed.
Encourage children to explore a variety of colours and patterns. Additionally, make them aware of the zoom tool for filling intricate patterns, as well as the undo button for easy corrections.
