ART THERAPY activity for anxiety, grounding, & mindfulness: Therapeutic art projects at home
Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed? This therapeutic art exercise uses principles of grounding and mindfulness to help manage anxiety and other overwhelming emotions, no matter what setting you’re in.
SUGGESTED AGE: ages 6 (with adequate fine motor control) to adult
MATERIALS NEEDED:
• paper (any size, type, color)
• drawing materials (suggested: markers, crayons, colored pencils)
MIXING IT UP:
• use black construction paper with lighter colored pencils (like white, pastel colors, metallic colors) or gel pens to give a cool glow-in-the-dark effect
• draw the lines using a crayon or piece of wax and color the spaces with watercolor – the wax will resist and push through the watercolor
