I Wish I Were a Butterfly: A Mindful Bedtime Story for Kids

Caterpillar wishes she were something she isn't--red, blue, gold, and flying up high in the bright sky. Although our wishes are beautiful, we can't become who we are meant to be without first being who we are. Parents, here are 4 powerful ways to connect with your little one during the story: 1) Tiptoe your fingers up an arm as the caterpillar climbs, 2) Wrap your little one up in a blanket like a caterpillar in a chrysalis, 3) Get close and experience together how deep breathing feels and sounds, 4) Flutter eyelashes against your little one's forehead like a soft butterfly's kiss.
