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.

Perfect for bedtime, the classroom, or anytime they need a little extra comfort, this mindfulness exercise is easy, engaging, and deeply relaxing.
