Wellbeing Craft Group Planning – Item 481

This wellbeing craft group can be used as a whole intervention at lunchtime clubs, after school clubs or as part of your ELSA work.

The sessions are all stand alone so could be dipped into as part of your sessions. You could use them for the first session with a child to help them feel calm and relaxed with you.

Making crafts is very satisfying and can help with mindfulness, low mood and self esteem.

There are lots of opportunities for discussion and children will often open up when crafting.

There are 6 sessions in the pack with planning, templates, emotion wheel and mindful colouring for early finishers. 67 Sheets in total.

Sessions are for approximately 30 minutes and include an emotion check in, planning for six sessions which includes a mindfulness/calming activity, mandalas for mindful colouring – useful for early finishers and a huge template pack which includes several variations of each craft, black and white versions, information, and instructions.
