Breathing Exercises For Kids

Take a deep breath and fill your heart with love! 💕

Our Free Printable Heart Breathing Exercise for Kids makes learning mindful breathing fun, easy, and engaging. 💖

By tracing the heart shape while breathing in and out, kids learn to focus their breath, calm their minds, and connect with feelings of love and kindness.

This wonderful mindfulness activity for kids makes for a great addition to a calm down corner in a classroom, homeschooling mindfulness, or bedtime wind-down routines.

💞 How It Works 💞

💓 Think of someone you love.
💓 Inhale as you trace up the heart’s side, counting to three.
💓 Exhale as you trace down, counting to three.

Repeating this pattern creates a calming rhythm, helping kids develop mindfulness, patience, and emotional awareness. 🌬️

 Whether used for relaxation, social-emotional learning (SEL), or as part of a kids’ yoga practice, this activity is a delightful way to introduce mindfulness. 🧘‍♀️
