We love guided drawings as a mindfulness activity for gardeners of all ages. This powerful 'gardening tool' is a great way to de-stress, draw your attention back to the present moment and distract you from any weeds, aka negative thoughts you might have. Plus, guided drawings help children break down an entire subject into lines and shapes they are comfortable with. The sense of joy this activity brings to children is extremely rewarding especially when they complete the task and see what they have accomplished!
Congratulations Gardeners...you just earned yourself the Bird Drawing Badge!
