Little Spider's First Web: A Mindful Bedtime Story for Kids

Little Spider’s First Web, is a delightful and encouraging children’s story about what it means to keep going when things get tough. When Little Spider decides to spin his very first web, he’s full of excitement—but building something new isn’t always easy. After a few tumbles and tangled legs, Little Spider gets support from his friends and learns that even when things fall apart, he doesn’t have to give up.

Parents, here are 4 powerful ways to explore grit with your little one during the episode:

1) Bring your own pillow to bedtime and pound it with your child when practicing getting out frustration.

2) Model what belly breathing looks like for your child when following the breathing cues.

3) Say the words of the song with your child and use the song for encouragement with your child anytime.

4) Hug your child when your child is giving themselves a hug at the end.
