I teach preschool special education and these have been an essential tool in my calm down space. The tactile nature of these boards helps my kids visualize breathing techniques. I highly recommend these!

This is a sturdy and well made tool to help kids learn about deep breathing. The bright colors and different designs make it inviting and playful. Perfect size as well.

I have not seen products like this before. I think these are great! I bought them to use in my classroom. Students can use them to calm down. They are fun to trace and show where to breathe in and out along the path.

Purchased this to add to our preschool fidget bin. I was unsure if this would be gravitated towards but was happily surprised that it was on of the first grabs. Even during story time one little guy was sitting quietly listening as his finger was following right along these trails as should be. Perfect sized too. Satisfied with this purchase and addition.

I bought both sizes. the smaller ones are great for the car. my kids (age 7 & 10) enjoy using both sides of all of them. These went over even better than I expected and are great for emotional regulation.

These are well made and excited to use! (From a teacher and a mom)

This is a very cute and helpful addition to our homeschool calm down corner bin i love this for my son we are planning to implement more breathing techniques

My children love these! They won’t even be having hard emotions and still want to use them! It’s definitely helping me with some skills myself.

Muy intuitivo y bonito, compacto para llevar a cualquier parte

Ce lot de 2 labyrinthe recto-verso (soit 4 en tout) est destiné à initier les petits, dès 3 ans, à la pleine conscience.Il y a quelques années, j’ai vécu une formation sur ce thème, et cela m’a conquis : prendre pleinement conscience du moment qu’on est en train de vivre, à travers des exercices de respiration et de méditation.Les labyrinthes sont en plastique rigide, et le doigt suit un parcours très simplement. Une notice en français permet d’expliquer comment s’en servir, à coup d’inspiration et d’expiration.Les motifs sont jolis et colorés : abeille, papillon, fleur et escargot, et chacun possède son propre parcours, avec des pauses régulières.Mon épouse, qui garde des enfants, l’a testé avec des grands de 7 ans, et c’est un petit rituel qui les calme lors d’un changement d’activité. Nous le recommandons !Dimensions : hexagones de 13 cm.

The media could not be loaded.  These could be a really beneficial sensory/mindfulness aid, but it will depend entirely on the child or adult's engagement with the aid, how it is initially taught to the indervidual and when you use it. The booklet provides a guide on how to use it therapeutically, asking people what they notice about the maze, patterns and feel and encouraging them to inhale and exhale at certain points. It can be used alongside music. Relating this to therapeutic sensory ladders it could work well on green stages or amber stages to regulate emotions. However this is unlikely to be as beneficial in red stages. It could also make a wonderful Frisbee!It is a well made, colourful and robust aid.

The whole point of these is that there are little dots where a child inhales, holds their breath and then exhales. I would be really interested as to what age children will be able to achieve this. Especially if these are intended for a RED ZONE child. Sometimes an hour is needed to calm them down. The whole exercise will need to be modelled several times for a child to get it and if they are in the RED ZONE, I'm not sure this will cut it. Sorry, I have to be honest. You will need to practise with such a child, many times when they are calm.However, they could have another purpose, as aids to writing. Some children really struggle with finger strength etc and this could be used with a small wooden stick for the children to follow the patterns on the templates. A precursor to a pencil and paper.So by all means use/buy it for the mindfulness if you so wish, but for me with some of the children I have had to teach, I think it is for more useful as a writing aid.Just my personal opinion!
