Looking for some deep breathing exercises to teach the kids? Try this Valentine's Day themed technique and grab a copy of the free printable poster too!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner so this heart shaped deep breathing exercise for kids is a perfect way to practice mindfulness and deep breathing this time of year.

Like always, I've included a free printable mindfulness poster. After all, visual supports are helpful for many kids. And the act of tracing the poster helps ground the individual using the technique.

A Simple Breathing Exercise for Kids that's Perfect for Valentine's Day

This heart shaped breathing exercise would be perfect to pair with these DIY worry hearts for coping with anxiety during Valentine's Day (or any time of the year, really!).

The free printable poster that is included below is super helpful for practicing the technique. It is a super simple technique to learn and implement, by the way.

But, as an alternative to the poster, you can draw hearts with your finger on your palm, breathing in and out as you draw the shape.
