Decoding the backgrounds

We intentionally added colour-coded backgrounds to our designs to go beyond just visual appeal. These magnetic routine cards are more than just a fun activity for kids. Colour-coding each activity with specific hues has multiple benefits. It provides a subtle mindfulness aspect to each child's daily routine, encouraging them to listen to their bodies' needs and plan their day accordingly. For example, if your child feels energetic, they can choose to stack their day with orange Active cards and burn off their energy. Conversely, if they feel overwhelmed, they can bring back balance with some Calming purple cards.

By encouraging your child to design their day with our routine cards, you're giving them a sense of control over their daily schedule, which boosts their independence, self-confidence and overall emotional well-being. It's also an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with your child about balancing their day and listening to their needs, helping build their communication and decision-making skills.
