As Principal of a Primary School I greatly welcome the App Wonders Cape.
Our children have strived for the last 11 weeks to continue their learning in isolation. Most teachers are doing an amazing job continuing to teach via various teaching platforms. I am less worried about children's academic progress than I am about their overall well being. Organizational skills are taught and learned accidentally in the structured school setting. Children are missing out on this vital aspect of school.
Wonders Cape will helps the child to somewhat fill the void that is in their life. Not alone does it develop communication and organizational skills it offers ideas for mindful and movement breaks.
Children learn best when they are unaware that they are learning.
Wonders Cape is fun, interactive and child friendly.
A fantastic app in these strange times .

The Calming Glitter Jar is a great tool for calming down and a fun craft project to do with your child. The Calming Glitter Jar is a proven mindfulness tool and it can help to relax both kids and adults of all ages.

Also, the Calming Jar offers a practical way to "meditate" with a kid who doesn't want to sit still. The idea is that your child can learn to use the jar on his own when he's experiencing difficult emotions.

We made five calming jars with my three-year-old son this week. It was so much fun!

( Edit: He's 6 now and we still use the jars on occasion )
The Calming Jar helps children to:
learn focusing skills,
calm down,
and figure out that paying attention to their senses helps them regulate emotions.

Sensory Awareness

I've both practiced and taught mindfulness for years, but I'm still amazed at how the simple act of paying attention to my senses has such a strong calming effect.

We can pay attention to what we smell, touch, hear or see. Whenever we bring awareness to what we are experiencing with our senses, we are being mindful. When we do this simple act, our minds calm down.
Why does this happen?
The short answer: when you pay attention to your senses, you shift your focus away from your emotions and thoughts. Instead of worrying about the future or the past, you focus your mind and reduce the brain chatter. It's simple and very powerful.

When you understand this, you can help your child calm down in various playful ways. Here's one of my favorites.

Purpose: Emotional Regulation, Calm, Focus
Best for ages: 3+
Materials:

Small jar (make sure it will hold liquid tightly)

Clear glue

Glitter (any colors you like)

A few drops of food coloring

Hot water

Whisk or a stick

Directions

you may need to use your mindfulness skills to stay calm when your kid disperses glitter all over the place ;-)

This is a great tool for calming down and it's simple to build. Depending on the sort of glue you use, you may have to experiment to get the consistency just right for you. That's part of the fun. You can experiment with about 20% glue, 80% water, and add as much glitter as you feel comfortable with. The more glue you use the longer it will take for the glitter to settle after shaking the jar. You can use clear school glue and glitter, or glitter glue and add some more glitter to get the effect you want.

1. Pour glue and hot water (tap water is okay) into the jar and mix with a whisk. The glue gives the liquid a different thickness and makes impressive swirls of glitter.

2. Add some glitter. You can start with 1-2 tablespoons of glitter. I prefer to combine both chunky and finer glitter. For a pink jar I used red hearts, purple, pink and iridescent glitter. Iridescent glitter will give a nice lighter look, so be sure to try it out.
3. Add a drop or two of food coloring to give it more excitement. 4. When everything is blended, put the lid on and give it a good shake so the glitter is dispersed throughout. 5. Then let it cool without the lid. 6. You can secure the lid with super glue.
Try it out together

When you've built the jar with the glitter, you can explain the purpose of the jar.

Shake it and tell your child that sometimes our minds are full of thoughts, swirling around like the glitter in the jar.

Sometimes we experience angry thoughts. Sometimes sad thoughts.

Tell them that it's okay to have strong feelings but that we can calm those thoughts and our bodies as well.

One way to do this is to let your thoughts settle like the glitter in the jar. When our minds are calm it's easier to work out problems and to talk about whatever it is that is causing us to be upset.

Shake the jar up until the glitter is spinning wildly. Then set it on a table or the floor and calmly watch it with your child until the glitter, and your minds, are all settled down.
That's it!
Here's a three-minute how-to video from Emilie ...

... and another glitter-tastic four-minute how-to video from Annelise & Rachel (with lots and lots of glitter)

Want to take it to the next level?

5 awesome calming jars to inspire you

1. Beautiful "Hush Bottles" by Genny @ InLieuOfPreschool. Check out how Luke and Lilah use the bottles to calm down!

2. A wonderful snow globe glitter jar by Cori @ HeyLetsMakeStuff 3. A high-end illuminated calming jar by Danlynne07 @ Instructables
4. A jellyfish in a bottle by Sue & Gokk @ Bhoomplay. It's pure awesomesauce! No glitter? Maybe add some ;-)
5. The Lava Lamp by Rebecca @ TheCraftedSparrow.
Happy crafting! I hope that your children will enjoy this proven mindfulness tool.
Wishing you many fun mindful moments with your children :-)
