Synopsis
This beautiful book will guide children to be calm and value the little things every day. In a world where children are increasingly attached to their screens, and their memories often are only cherished digitally, this book offers a creative analog solution. It is a fun how-to guide to engaging with the world around us through mindfulness activities, first lessons in philosophy, and journalling tips.
Little ones are taken through activities, from physical and mental exercises to crafting and writing tasks, which teach them to value the little things in their lives. Learn crafts to calm a busy mind, discover Buddhist meditation, and explore the outdoors mindfully. Children will be inspired to transform the space around them into a zone of zen, from decorating with Japanese origami to tidying their room Marie Kondo-style. Many ideas encourage kids to make the most of mental memories or old photographs, creating something physical to remember special events, friends, or holidays so memories aren't restricted to pictures on a screen. Each activity and thought encourages a sense of calm or well-being, which helps children to live in the moment and make memories in the real world.
The book features a strong environmental awareness, too, with activities encouraging sustainability and recycling as much as possible. Beautiful, soothing colors and a fun scrapbook aesthetic combine to make a how-to guide to cherish.
