While there are a lot of cards decks on the market to teach kids yoga poses and mindfulness strategies, we really love these Mindful Kids Cards by Little Renegades. This deck is appropriate for kids ages 3+ and is designed to help little kids discover stillness and learn to tap into that mindful state on their own at any time. The deck includes 40 cards, each with a different stretch, breathing exercise, meditation, gratitude or mindfulness activity. Each card also includes a beautiful watercolor illustration.
We find these cards are a playful and age-appropriate way to teach kids these extremely beneficial practices. At the same time, they are super fun for adults too! We love to use them in our Yoga Squirrel classes and co-founder Christine uses them with her 3 year old. They have been perfect to incorporate into the bedtime routine and offer a moment of calm and connection.
Check them out here! And let us know what you think!
