What's in the packs?
Our Home Activity Packs are bursting full of creativity with over 100 individual elements ready to use to complete 12 activities. Everything you need is included in the pack, apart from a few items you can find in your home - scissors, household junk to up-cycle and the ingredients for the recipes. The activities are accompanied by a beautiful booklet containing all the instructions along with uplifting messages to bring a smile and mindful reminders to help you find moments of calm.
At the moment, we have two different packs available. Our newest is the Winter Pack, and we still have a limited stock of our Summer Packs available. To see what is in each of the packs, click on the buttons below.

Mindful Moments
Throughout the activity booklet you will be encouraged to take ‘mindful moments’. Mindfulness is the power of living in the moment, being fully engaged in whatever we’re doing at that moment without distraction or judgement. Being mindful helps us to take time to be more aware of our thoughts and feelings, notice the small things and experience them to the full by truly being present. Connecting with our senses is a great way to be mindful - you’ll find all five senses in our home activity packs with items for you to see, hear, smell, taste and touch.
The Singing Elf team are not trained mindful practitioners but we have created this project based on the key principles of mindfulness which we believe can benefit us all. We encourage you to take a few minutes out of your day to absorb yourself in our creative activities and escape from the world for a short while. We know that right now, times are hard for many of us. If you feel you need a helping hand, the booklet includes a page of contact details of organisations which can offer you support, guidance or further information.
