The science of mindfulness has been widely studied for decades now. And the resounding findings? Mindfulness opens the door to a world of goodness for your littly. From boosting your little one’s working memory, to increasing cognitive flexibility and attentiveness, to boosting their overall happiness, the benefits of mindfulness practices are far-reaching and create a healthy, positive lens for your child to experience the world through.
With dreamy illustrations and thoughtful details, this beautifully crafted board game will have your little ones taking a moment to hit pause in our busy world, and carving out their own individual pockets of calm.
As you journey around the board, you’ll be met with: Yoga Poses By moving their body with yoga, your little one will be on their way to building a healthy mind, a refined focus, and confidence grown from connecting their brain with their body.
Our thought-provoking Happy Cards encourage your little ones to consider and express what they are grateful for. In doing this, they will be cultivating a growth mindset - a key ingredient in the recipe for a successful life. Studies show that gratitude has profound impacts on our health. Practicing gratitude can leave our littles more likely to sleep well, have improved immune system function, and healthier relationships with others.
