Tangle it Easter! - Elsa Support

Tangle it Easter!

This is an #elsafreefriday for children to have a go at tangling (doodling). It is a fab activity to do and brings a real sense of mindfulness.

Benefits include:

  • Concentration and attention span – it is so easy to get completely engrossed in your design
  • Thinking skills – thinking what pattern to do next, what will look good!
  • Mindfulness – a sense of mindfulness and being completed absorbed in the activity
  • Relaxation – a true sense of relaxation as you are only thinking about your patterns
  • Hand eye co-ordination – speaks for itself, try it!
  • Self-esteem – creating something beautiful that looks amazing!
  • Stress relief – if you feel stressed give it a go. You will be amazed
  • Self soothing – it is such a soothing activity and if you feel upset or anxious it will make you feel better
  • Ok to make mistakes – your mistakes can be incorporated into your design
  • Problem solving – how can you incorporate your mistakes into your design?
  • Fine motor skills – making those tiny patterns
  • Nurturing creative abilities – allowing everyone to be creative
  • Expanding your imagination – let your imagination go and just create!
  • Creative expression – allows you to create your own design and express yourself
  • Great fun!
  • Simple to learn – each stroke of the pen or pencil is simple
  • No planned outcome – you don’t know yet how your design will end up.

"I am new ELSA practitioner and this site has been a huge help to me. Debbie is helpful too; I've messaged her on occasion to ask for advice and she has always been quick to reply with supportive ideas and suggestions. She has also, on request, adapted resources to suit the young age group I work with. Amazing!"
