Hi there,
This week it's Children's Mental Health Week in the UK and we have doodling and colouring activities to help children relax or talk about their worries – and yoga stretches to follow online.

Doodle your worries
This activity is from The Usborne Unworry Book, a write-in book packed with activities to help children talk about and let go of their worries. Download

Mindfulness colouring
Colouring is a calming activity that helps reduce stress whatever your age. This colouring sheet shows a mandala, a circular, repetitive pattern to help you slow down and focus on the present moment. You can find lots more in the Usborne book Mandalas to colour. Download

Calming dot-to-dots
Here's a dot-to-dot puzzle for younger children, from the Usborne Little Wipe-Clean Dot-to-Dot book. Concentrating on the puzzle will help little ones slow down too, and focus on the activity. You could ask them to make up their own dot-to-dot puzzles too. Download
