Many Christmas carols focus on bells, from Jingle Bells to Sleigh Bells. It's just one of those Christmas items you'll see and hear a lot of during the holiday season.
Well, that's the inspiration for this deep breathing exercise, at least.
So if you're needing another mindfulness technique to teach your kids this Christmas (and the holly, candy cane, or gift inspired ideas aren't your child's thing), then give this bell themed deep breathing technique a try.
A Simple Breathing Exercise for Kids with a Christmas Twist
Have you tried teaching your kids triangle breathing? If so, then you're already familiar with the exercise used here, especially if you've tried out holly breathing, candy corn breathing, or ghost breathing.
But instead of a traditional triangle, it's obviously a bell. I mean I had to make more than one Christmas themed breathing exercise, right?
Anyway, the technique is simple and the free printable poster includes all the steps you need to teach it to your kids.
