Drawing and coloring are often calming activities to begin with, of course!!!
Start by explaining your students will be practicing mindfulness while coloring. It’s important to highlight that if students feel like they made a mistake, they should just breathe in and out and let it go.
Mindfulness is about being present in the moment, making judgments about what is good or bad. Let students choose their coloring page and give them access to the coloring materials you choose.
Encourage the students to color quietly on their own. You can dim the lights and play calming music while they color.
