Christmas Jumper Activity - Mindful Colouring - Colour to Calm

A peaceful festive colouring activity designed to help children slow down, breathe, and feel calm. Mindful colouring for gentle emotional regulation.

Our Mindful Christmas Jumper Colouring sheet is a calming festive resource that invites children to use colour, breath, and gentle attention to support emotional wellbeing.

Colouring is one of the simplest and most effective mindfulness tools for children, and this activity uses that quiet power by combining fun Christmas jumper designs with mindful prompts. As children colour slowly, intentionally, and with awareness following our prompts - they experience a sense of calm that can be deeply grounding during the excitement and sensory stimulation of the Christmas period.

This resource offers a moment of stillness in a busy season, a space where children can reconnect with themselves, focus on the present moment, and let their bodies and minds relax.

About This Resource

The mindful jumper colouring sheets use simple prompts to guide children into a calm, sensory experience. Prompts encourage them to choose colours based on feelings, memories, moods, senses, and sensations.

The repetitive movement of colouring, combined with the focus of following a prompt, creates a grounding sensory experience that supports emotional regulation. Children naturally slow their breathing, settle their thoughts, and ease into a calm rhythm.
