Mindfulness for Kids: The Zen Garden
Here's a quick parenting idea on supporting mindfulness at home through use of a Japanese Zen Garden.
Japanese Gardens, or zen gardens, use natural materials like rocks, moss, and shrubbery to mimic the natural world in soothing designs. Your child can benefit from working in their very own zen garden with just a few materials to get started!
To create a small tabletop garden, find an appropriately sized tray or box top for your table space. A tray with steep sides and handles works great to allow your child to work with their garden at any time, and the raised edges will contain the sand.
Here are some common objects found in Japanese gardens that you can purchase in a craft store, pet supplies store, or on a nature walk!
Rocks of varying size, shape, and color
Sand
Moss, like the kind used for fairy gardens
Rakes(forks!) or twigs for creating designs
