Breathe Like a Bear Mindfulness Cards: 50 Mindful Activities for Kids (Big Cards for Little Hands)

My 7 yr old loves them, and they are great when we need a reset or as part of a transition time.

These are adorable and feel sturdy, they’re a good size and the art is beautiful. Each and every card has been very obviously drawn carefully and the little stretches or breathes on the back always fit the drawing. We just got them and area already in love, great addition to our SEL library.

I bought these Breathe Like a Bear Mindfulness Cards for my friend’s 8-year-old daughter, who had the most active party known to humankind. Picture sugar-fueled chaos—kids bouncing off the walls. But, to my surprise, that very night, she actually asked her mom if they could use the cards to wind down. Magic! (Or maybe the sugar crash, but I’ll take it.) The activities are simple, engaging, and calming—perfect for little hands and busy minds. Now, I want a set for myself! Who knew bear breathing could be so tempting? Honestly, these cards are a must-have for anyone with kids (or adults who could use a moment to zen out).

I use this with my own daughter as well as my child clients to help them learn new mindfulness techniques and practice them together. There is also a Spotify playlist and a book that goes along with this but I have found the kids enjoy these cards the most.

My child has a sensory processing disorder and these cards are not only super cute and great quality but are SO HELPFUL giving children ideas to calm down in fun age appropriate ways!

My therapist loaned my her deck to try out before purchasing, and I bought my own within a day. My 4-year-old is veeeery 4-years-old. The water is too wet. Now it’s too hot. Now it’s too cold. Don’t blow up that balloon! Don’t twist that balloon like that! Don’t let the air out of the balloon! Let the air out of the balloon! Do it again! Again! You know. These have been a good tool for regulation during meltdowns because he has some control and can pick his own cards. That’s where I think other toys I’ve tried have failed. Like who does this stuffed talking mouse think she is anyway?! The cards put him in the driver seat, though that also means we haven’t made it past his two favorite cars, which are the one with the cars (obviously) and hot chocolate. Take it from me: don’t actually make your kid hot chocolate. When he asked after we did the exercise I thought it was a delightful idea because we could practice our blows and our sips! It backfired on me because now when I pull out the deck he asks if we can just make hot chocolate…

I use these mindfulness cards in counseling sessions or SEL lessons in the classroom, I have many of this author’s books as well.

These are great! We do them with our three young kids and it's been really helpful!

Lovely cards good material

Bueno para clases grupales de niños pequeños

Sono super delusa! Il prodotto sarà anche di qualità, ma la consegna è stata pessima. Praticamente il corriere ha forzato il pacco dentro alla bussola delle lettere, rovinando non solo il pacco, come anche il prodotto.

Brilliant cards, lovely drawings & mini meditations for children.
