Quiet Quilt: A Play Activity

Daily stresses get you down?
Well, there's no need to frown!
A Quiet Quilt is what you need
To take a break with lots of ease!

YOU WILL NEED:
  • A soft blankie or quilt
  • An Amazon Echo
  • Aromatherapy spray
  • A sticker book or wordsearch
  • A cuddly toy
Upon experiencing a stressing moment, enter your room and cuddle your blankie or preferred soft toy close to your body and do the trademark Thunderbirds countdown. However this time, do not end it in 'Thunderbirds Are Go'. Instead, end it on a peaceful word you love.

Next, ask your Echo to set a timer for five minutes. Take your aromatherapy spray and spray it in a clear part of your room. Inhale the scent, and breathe out what it makes you think of. Does it make you think of a cosy childhood memory? A favourite toy? A person you love? Something you look to for comfort?

For the next three minutes, choose to either do a wordsearch or a sticker book, and when the timer is up, quietly whisper a little thank you to your blankie, or your 'Quiet Quilt', then continue on with your day.

And now, let's take this time to breathe and quieten our bodies.

Namaste.
