Collage art is a great way for children to connect with nature and be creative at the same time. To make an eco collage, you can use materials that you find in nature, such as leaves, twigs, rocks, and flowers. You can also use recycled materials, such as old magazines, newspapers, and cardboard. Encourage children to look closely at the natural world around them and collect interesting materials to use in their collages.

​

To create an eco collage, start by gathering your materials and deciding on a theme for your collage. You can then arrange the materials on a piece of paper or canvas to create a unique and interesting composition. Use glue or tape to attach the materials to the paper or canvas. You can also use markers, crayons, or paint to add color and detail to your collage.

​

Encourage children to be creative and have fun with their eco collages. They can add their own unique touches and let their creativity shine. As they work on their collages, they can learn about the natural world and develop an appreciation for the environment.

Mindfulness breathing is a simple and effective way for children to become more familiar with their own breath and to use it as a tool to calm their mind and body. Here is a short bedtime mindfulness breathing exercise that you can try with your child:

​

  1. Have your child lie down in a comfortable position, with their head on a pillow.

  2. Ask them to close their eyes and focus on their breath. Encourage them to breathe in through their nose and out through their mouth.

  3. As they breathe in, have them imagine filling their lungs with fresh, clean air. As they breathe out, have them imagine releasing any tension or stress from their body.

  4. Encourage them to focus on the sensation of their breath and to notice any changes in their breath as they breathe in and out.

  5. If their mind wanders, gently guide them back to their breath.

  6. After a few minutes of mindfulness breathing, have them continue to breathe slowly and deeply until they fall asleep.

By practicing mindfulness breathing, children can become more familiar with their own breath and learn how to use it as a tool to calm their mind and body.
