Mindfulness dough
- mix together ingredients to form a 'dough' that will appear liquid until you touch it and then will seize up into a solid. Place it in your/ your child's hands. When they relax, it relaxes and starts to ooze out. When the tighten their grip, it will harden up. This is a great way to help calm down a child who needs help remembering to breathe and relax.
