The Me That Shines Program: A gentle, week-long introduction to self-awareness through playful mindfulness, simple breathing, movement, and quiet time outdoors. Using nature as a calm, grounding space, children learn to notice their feelings and practice stillness. The experience culminates in a “My Personal Trinket” Time Capsule capturing who they are as they begin the new year.

Learning Outcomes
This program supports children ages 3-4 in developing early self-awareness and emotional understanding through playful mindfulness, movement, and quiet time in nature.
Guided by daily themes such as noticing feelings, finding calm, and reflecting within, children build confidence, self-worth, and a sense of grounding — culminating in a Time Capsule that honours who they are as they step into the new year.
THE SHED VALUES
Through consistent participation in The Shed programs, we hope children will learn and develop the following values we strive to reflect:
• Sustainable
• Caring and Compassion
• Community Orientated
• Courageous
• Connected

They are encouraged to slow down, observe, and enjoy being outdoors.The session ends with children returning to a place they enjoyed and selecting a small, safe natural item to add to their Time Capsule — capturing “what I liked exploring today” as an early reflection of their experience.

Day three focuses on understanding big feelings like excitement, frustration, or nervousness. Children hike together to a “secret snack spot,” building anticipation while learning how strong emotions can sometimes affect our focus and attention.
Through storytelling, play in the forest, and the “smell the flower, blow out the candle” breathing technique, children practise calming themselves in a cozy outdoor space. From this spot, each child selects a small nature item that reminds them of a place where they can settle, adding it to their Time Capsule as a symbol of calm and comfort.
