The key is to take it slow. Before age three, children generally scribble when they are coloring because they lack the fine motor skills to grip a crayon and move their fingers and wrists. Consequently, our mindfulness lesson was not about coloring within the lines, but rather, the art of coloring slowly. To practice mindfulness, one needs to slow down actions and focus the mind entirely on the single task at hand. The adult friends in attendance joined in the coloring activity and helped spread mindfulness to the entire group.
