Sharing the resources I created for myself and have used as part of my teaching practise. I have been a nursery school teacher (4 months - 5 years), a science teacher (KS3-KS5) with biology specialism, a forest school leader, vocational award assessor for Childcare and I am now a specialist SEND teacher. As a result I am able to share a wide range of resources.

Reverse Colouring In - Mindfulness

(0)
How to Use This Reverse Colouring Book Welcome to your reverse colouring book — a creative space where the colours are already on the page, and you bring the lines to life. Instead of colouring in shapes, you’ll use your imagination to draw outlines around the soft watercolour forms. There’s no right or wrong way to do it. You might trace around shapes you see, or invent your own patterns, textures, and characters. Some pages will feel abstract, others might suggest landscapes, flowers, or animals — follow what you feel. Why Use a Reverse Colouring Book? This book is designed to spark creativity and calm. It’s an invitation to: Slow down and engage with the present moment See differently — noticing shapes, flow, and colour in a new way Let go of perfection — there’s no “finished” look, just expression Enjoy the process — not the outcome What Is Mindfulness? Mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment, on purpose, and without judgment. It’s about gently bringing your focus to what’s happening right now — how your pen moves across the page, how the colours make you feel, how your breath rises and falls. When you draw mindfully, you’re not rushing or worrying about how it looks. You’re simply being with the page. Tips for Getting Started Find a quiet spot where you can relax. Take a breath before you begin. Choose a page that speaks to you. Use any pen or pencil you like — fine liners, gel pens, or even metallics. Let your mind wander, and your hand follow. There’s no wrong way to do this. Just lines, colours, and a little time for yourself.
