Perfect for a calming down exercise in the classroom, use this mindful colouring in activity in the classroom in the lead-up to Christmas.

Mindful Colouring In Activities

It can be hard not to find yourself and your entire class caught up in the rapid ride towards Christmas holidays. The frenetic energy can wear us all down! These peaceful, mindful colouring activities are great to add to your list of classroom Christmas activities.

It is especially important to provide time for your students to practise mindfulness in the lead-up to school holidays and the new year, as they prepare to face the anxiety of moving to a new class or a new school. Mindful colouring is great for students because it requires them to focus on choosing colours and deciding how they should use them in a design. This brings their awareness to the present moment.

This printable colouring sheet set includes three different versions featuring:

1. Reindeer
2. Christmas tree baubles 
3. Christmas wreath and peaceful doves
