Age Groups: Little Kids, Toddlers
Skills: Perception, Self Regulation
Let's calm down like Peppa! We can hold up our hands with our palms open. Let’s pretend that one hand has 5 beautiful flowers, one for each finger, and the other hand has 5 birthday candles, one for each finger.
Let's smell our flowers. We can use one big sniff to smell them all or 5 little sniffs and smell each one.
Now, let’s blow out our birthday candles. We can blow them all out with one big puff, or use 5 little puffs to blow out each one.
Let's try again. Do you like to use 5 small breaths or one big breath?
Sniff - to smell quickly
Puff - a short blow
Breath - air taken into the body and forced out of the lungs
Calm - still and quiet
