[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We loved this set! I love the vibrant colors and the designs. My son loves that there is a harder side so he can challenge himself. This has been great as we are learning how to breathe and calm down instead of throw tantrums. Definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a great item for my 3 yr old. Upon receiving it, I immediately appreciated the durability of it. Not something can be destructed easily at all. And when my toddler was playing with it, he sat so quite and calmly. (Just what this momma of 6 needed!) I love it even more that it's something that he can focus on and get his brain working, and not just be sitting entertained by a tablet or screen/ electronic of some sort. Definitely appreciate the quality and craftsmanship as well as the simpleness of it.
Amazing Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mother to a six year old little girl with ADHD, I was super excited to receive the mindful mazes in the mail. Depe breathing is a technique we use daily to help her self regulate her emotions. These mazes took the deep breathing to a whole other level. The directions were clear and easy to understand. You inhale as the line gets wider, pause where there's dots, and exhale where the begins to thin out. We first tried this when my daughter became over stimulated and needed a breather. We pulled them out, selected a maze, and began. She calmed within seconds of tracing the maze, and breathing along with it. I would highly recommend these to any person that needs help with emotional regulation. Not only did they help, but the durable design, and variety of puzzles will ensure we get use out of these over and over again.
Very durable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am both a 4K teacher and parent to twins plus one. My twins are 6 and had little interest in this breathing tool, however, some of the children in my classroom really enjoyed the boards during moments of sadness or anxiousness. A first year teacher friend had very similar breathing posters on her wishlist this year for a special needs classroom. I recommend Mindful Mazes for their portability, durability, tactile quality, and the easy to use accompanying teaching guide. She quickly swapped these on her list!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was honestly skeptical that my kids (ages 2 and 4.5) would really care about this. It's colorful and made of thick durable plastic. There's a different design on each side of the cards. We did it at bedtime when we first received it to calm down after playing outside. My 4 year old asks to do it most nights before laying down to sleep. She only does it for 5-10 minutes before being done with it for the night, but that's perfect for bedtime wind down activity. A surprising win!
Fun for a little while

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 4 children and the oldest is 6, and the youngest almost 2. The older one isn't interested in this but the middle 2 do happen to like it. It's fun for them but for a short time. They do get bored after about 5 minutes. If you need 5 minutes of quiet time this is a good game to keep them entertained.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Educational Insights Mindful Mazes are bright and colorful. Each side has a different design with arrows that follow through the design for help with mindful breathing. My 2 year old mostly us it for fine motor type skills and follows the shapes around. My 4 year old actually asked to play with them one day when she was upset and needed a break- she tried the rainbow one and tried to follow the breathing arrows (we had used them together once before so she understood how to use them). They also seem like they could be a great classroom tool for younger ages if used together and then allow them to use as needed.
Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son absolutely loves these! Sometimes he has a hard time explaining why he's upset or mad and these puzzles helped him focus on calming down before he speaks so he can calmly explain what's wrong. I love how these have helped him communicate better!
Perfect for quiet time and calming

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed this product because alltjough it's a very simple product it's easily engaging and open ended I found it helps them recenter and focus without being overstimulated with too many options . I really enjoyed pulling this product out after a tantrum and really helped calm my 2 1/2 year old and draw his mind away from what he was upset about .
Very intriguing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mindful mazes is really great in helping your child to learn how to calm down in overwhelming situations. My child is 5 years old and this product teaches him how to breath in and out to self soothe himself when he is overwhelmed which is great. Plus he also just likes to play with the mazes sometimes. Mindful mazes is durable and can be kept in the box for anytime use whether you are on the go or just sitting at home.
So excited....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has severe adhd and has a hard time calming down to process his emotions. This helps him focus on one tiny simple thing and helps get him to stay calm or get calm so we can resolve any issues with less incident.

I have used this for the first time with children aged 3 and a half and just turned 4, and was really pleased with the results. I did it one child at a time, to introduce the concept, and was amazed at how quickly they grasped it. What was really pleasing was the fact that they were eager to explore the other mazes too (we didn't try the more difficult ones as yet). They were most interested in the star and the rainbow, and obviously needed some guidance, especially to slow down, at first but it was a successful activity and one I will use regularly. The only reason i didn't give it four stars is that I thought it was quite expensive for three boards. I thought there were six, not realising they were double sided. I also thought that having a difficult one on one side and a simple one on the other was confusing for the children - tehy wanted to do both sides!
It’s a helpful title as it states the purpose.
