Glitter jars are a great way to teach mindfulness and deep breathing to kids and they are still pretty fun for adults! VARYING COLORS AVAILABLE

Often using one’s senses, being mindful means you are present and focused in this moment. When you watch the glitter fall and sparkle and/or notice other details such as shapes, sizes and colors, you train your attention. 

You can also practice deep breathing while repeating “I am calm” silently to add to the practice. Watch the glitter fall while enjoying the music and see how calm and good you feel after!

INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Shake up the jar and place it on a firm surface or your palm.
2. Watch the glitter as it falls slowly. Pay attention to the colors, sparkle and shine, and movement.
3. Take deep slow breaths while doing so. You can repeat "I am Calm" silently in your head" if you'd like. Inhale “I am”, exhale “calm”
4. If you notice your attention wander elsewhere, gently bring your focus back to the glitter jar. Do this as many times as needed.
5. Take a moment to notice how you feel.
6. Repeat these steps as often as you need throughout your day!
