Looking for a fun and calming activity for your little ones? This Butterfly Hugs Guided Meditation is the perfect mindfulness practice for kids! Designed for children ages 3–8, this 5-minute meditation helps kids reduce stress, regulate emotions, and feel safe and loved through gentle movement and breathing.

In this guided session, your child will imagine being a beautiful butterfly fluttering through a colorful garden. They’ll learn how to give themselves a “butterfly hug” by crossing their arms and tapping their shoulders, creating a soothing rhythm to calm their body and mind. Perfect for bedtime, the classroom, or anytime they need a little extra comfort, this mindfulness exercise is easy, engaging, and deeply relaxing.

Help your child build emotional resilience, focus, and confidence with this simple yet powerful meditation from Mindful Mini: Kid’s Meditation.
