Handprints in Different Skin Colors
Supplies: Paper, paint brush, paper plate, skin colored paint. Prepare a paper plate with several skin-shades of paint. Choose a color at a time, with the paint brush, paint your child’s hand and create a hand print. Repeat until you used up all the shades of paint. To create realistic flesh tones, start by mixing an equal part of red, yellow, blue, and white paint together. Then, if you want to make light skin tones, add in more white and yellow to lighten the color. If you want to create mid-range skin tones, try adding equal parts brown and or black to darken the shade. This activity supports mindful awareness of our diverse world. Possible discussion points: Explore how the SAME hand can create all the different skin colored hand prints. Find out what your child knows about skin. He or she might discover “it covers our bodies” or “it can be different colors.” You might say, “I love the way you are thinking about skin! Our skin is such an important part of our body. It keeps us safe from the sun, keeps us warm and protects our muscles and blood. The color of our skin is different, because humans come from different parts of the world. The skin is darker where it is very hot and sunny and lighter where it is colder. |
Mapping Emotions
You need paper and crayons. Have your child color on the body image to show where they feel their emotions at the moment. This activity helps with attention and support mindful awareness of feelings and emotions. Additionally: You can also take a large piece of paper, draw the outlines of your child and let him/her color it in with crayons. |

Activities & Movement
Self Regulation, Mindfulness and Awareness Activities
Heavy work activities help children expel extra energy while grounding their nervous systems so they can calm down and focus. These are natural ways to help your child regulate behavior. A balanced child will find it easier to self-regulate and be mindful and open to his environment. |
