My Yellow Bubble – A Mindful Happiness Activity Printable for Children and Teens

A reflective activity focussed on happiness and positive thinking.

In this printable resource, children and teens are invited to write or draw inside a vibrant yellow bubble the people, activities, feelings, and moments that make them feel happy. When they have a tough day, they can look at their bubble and choose one thing from it to help them feel better, supporting self-regulation and emotional resilience.

This activity reinforces the idea that happiness looks different for everyone and that small positive actions can help manage big feelings.
