Calming activities are so important for both kids and adults ... especially this year. I have a new unit with a variety of free calming printables and activities for kids (and some for kids and adults to enjoy together).
You'll find many activities for preschoolers through first graders throughout the year along with presentation ideas in my previous posts at PreK + K Sharing.
You'll also find ideas for using free printables to create activity trays here: How to Use Printables to Create Montessori-Inspired Activities.
At Living Montessori Now, I have a post with resource links of Free Printables for Montessori Homeschools and Preschools.
