Are tomatoes a fruit or a vegetable? Today weâre talking about being adaptable while we move, breathe, and imagine that weâre a growing tomato plant and also a buzzing bumble bee!
One of our poses today, inspired by boat pose in yoga, is quite challenging, using a lot of core muscles. A couple of options are given, but one more that can be used is holding behind the knees. Encourage your child(ren) to rest whenever they need it.
If youâd like to tell us about a time when someone did something kind for you, please send a voice recording to peaceout@bedtime.fm with âKindness Story (childâs name)â as the subject. We will listen and respond to each one and choose a few to include on future Peace Out episodes!Â
