We had a go at a bit of art relaxation therapy this week, mindful colouring is designed to calm the brain and allow mindfulness, inner calm and peace. Apparently.
We added a little classical music as well to really get them in the mood for relaxation, which they all love I’ll add! Personally I prefer a bit of R&B!
The girls thoroughly enjoyed it!
I did a little bit myself as well last night whilst MrFO5 watched some brain numbing rubbish on TV!
I’m not sure I achieved inner peace or complete relaxation like the girls claimed to have, but I certainly enjoyed it!

Ha! I plan to blog something similar. I recently took up coloring. 🙂
I got some adult colouring books recently too and it’s nice to do something quiet and calming in the evening or when the kids are colouring in too. I have to stop both the little ones from attacking my book though!
My daughter also wanted my book. I got a little possessive!
You guys are doing great work. I think you should plan this type of therapy again and again. It helps children a lot. Art is something children love to do, they like coloring, painting, drawing, etc. It helps them to keep their mind calm and busy both at one time and I am sure they girls enjoyed it a lot.
