Today's Mindfulness Monday activity is making Rice Snakes, also known as Lap Snakes or Sock Babies. These heavy toys provide extra sensory feedback for children. They can help calm a child or improve their focus! These Rice Snakes can be used in a peace corner, for anxious children to hold, during group time to help them listen carefully, or anytime a child needs to wait!Children are often more interested in using toys they make themselves, so encourage your child to decorate their 'snake' however they'd like and even help you pour the rice (or dried beans!) into the sock. Hope you and your children enjoy your Rice Snakes and they help build mindfulness into your daily routine!
