How do you prioritize rest in a busy world?
Bizzy Bee prides herself on being the best pollen collector in the hive. While all the other creatures in the lavender field enjoy a leisurely afternoon together, Bizzy keeps working—her brain won’t stop buzzing with all the things she has to do. When wise Mother Toad offers Bizzy a chance to stop and reflect on the world around her, Bizzy sees that even the best workers need to make time to slow down, rest and recharge.
With emotional-regulation cues and a welcoming in of the breath, Be Still, Bizzy Bee invites children and their caregivers to explore the 5-4-3-2-1 technique of stress management, with a strong focus on appreciating the beauty of our natural world.
