Promote your story time event: Use the last page of this kit for a promotional flyer, poster, or invitation. 2. Prepare a comfortable space with any resources you’ll need: Choose a spot where all the kids can sit in a circle as well as have space for engaging in activities. Some involve materials while others involve only their imagination and presence. 3. Read the story first: Read the book to the group to help them get acquainted with the story, the characters, and the yoga poses. There’s so much to look at in these pages; take your time! 4. Try the poses together: Read the book again, and this time do the yoga poses together. • It’s helpful to have one person holding and reading the book and a second person doing the poses with the children. • Start by taking slow, deep yoga breaths and exhaling long and slow. • Ask the children if they’d like to read it one more time to try the poses again. 5. Discuss the yoga story experience: Invite the children to talk about their experience, for example: • What was your favorite pose from the book? • What was the most challenging pose? • How did the poses make you feel? 6. Engage in complementary activities: If time allows, you can lead the children through the activities in this kit. 7. Share the kit with parents and caregivers: Encourage others to visit [soundstruekids.com](soundstruekids.com) to download this kit for free, plus watch a video of the author reading the story.
