Help children navigate and release challenging thoughts with this thoughtfully designed bundle of activities inspired by the Floating Thoughts story. While the story isn’t required, these hands-on, creative activities are rooted in its themes and encourage children to explore their emotions and develop mindfulness skills in a fun, engaging way. Perfect for parents, teachers, and therapists!
