BELLY

About this project

A peaceful safe space inside the kinder garden, BELLY helps kids reduce stimuli when they feel overwhelmed and need a moment to relax.

The challenge

Life in Israel the past year has been unbearable, our children either displaced and running for their lives, sirens & explosions overhead. Trauma, fear & grief are taking their toll on our us, Belly gives our young a moment to feel safe and re-align.

Who it helps

All kids and adults who need a moment to disconnect from the stress of the outside world for a moment, to focus attention inward, breath, relax and re-connect to themselves.

How it works

BELLY provides a cozy soft space that includes a vestibular swing and other aids for sensory regulation.
