You may have decorated the Christmas tree, but have you traced it and practiced deep breathing with it yet?

A Simple Breathing Exercise for Kids with a Christmas Twist
This Christmas tree breathing is based on the triangle breathing technique, similar to the bell breathing and holly breathing, where you trace a triangle shape while breathing in and out.
Instead of rocking around the Christmas tree, however, you'll be tracing it. Go up to the top of the tree, come back down, and go underneath.
