The most beautiful festive craft 🎄
The Children loved the process of wrapping the wool around the sticks to create their trees and carefully selected the beads they wanted. It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect and share. Christmas can be a particularly overwhelming time of year so this was the perfect reset activity ✨

💛 The beauty of affirmation 💛
After trauma, your mind can get stuck replaying old stories of fear, blame, or not-enoughness. Affirmations help rewrite those narratives. They gently remind your brain that safety, hope, and self-worth are possible again 💖
Small sentences, repeated often, can become new beliefs. And new beliefs can become healing. 🌱
Be patient with yourself and others learning to feel safe again 🫶🏼

At Mindful Mayhem, we help children tune into the positive things in life and recognise the amazing strengths they already have. We call these strengths their superpowers — because every child has something special that makes them shine! ✨🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

Take a minute to think about your own super powers!

All the feels this week… 💛
This week in Mindful Mayhem we’ve been exploring our emotions in creative and meaningful ways. The children drew their worries and then practised “shrinking” them to make them feel smaller and more manageable.

We used body maps to look at where feelings show up in our bodies, what colours they might be, and the shapes they take. The children also expressed their emotions through painting, creating some incredibly thoughtful artwork.

It’s been a week full of big feelings, creativity, and lots of emotional growth. 🌈🖍️✨

This week, our mindful activity involved weaving, threading, knot tying, and decorating with coloured wool, lollipop sticks, and sticky gems. The children carefully selected their colours and patterns, remaining calm and focused throughout. Many commented on how relaxing and soothing the weaving felt. This activity supported the development of fine motor skills, concentration, and creativity, while also encouraging patience and a sense of pride in their finished work. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to experience mindfulness through hands-on, calming exploration.
