Help kids ages 3 to 5 build self-awareness and emotional regulation through fun activities

• A mix of 30 activities--From breathing like a dragon to going on a scavenger hunt adventure, kids will explore a variety of instructional exercises that make learning fun.
• Labels and tips for success--Each activity includes colorful labels that tell you how messy it is and how long it will take to prep and complete, plus pro tips for getting the most out of the exercise.
