The Piece of Me hitmaker - whose two sons she conceived with ex-husband Kevin Federline - took part in a collage-making exercise with youngsters at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and told the group she believes butterflies are her 'guardian angels'.

Working to the theme 'What it feels like to be away from home', the group sorted through magazines to and selected images that reminded them of home under the guidance of Art Therapist Nicole Albers.

Britney chose a photo of happy children to represent her boys, an image of a crawfish, which she said was her favourite food, and a butterfly.

She said: 'Butterflies are our guardian angels.'

The group decided to name their collective work 'Happiness' because when they think of family, that is how they feel.

After the therapy group, Britney spent time in the Heart Institute, the Medical/Surgical unit and the Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases.

She later tweeted: '@ChildrensLA I had the best time, thank you for having me!! xox.'

Why do they always have the same looking Bodyguards. Snopp Dogg had guards like this and try to dominate through Heathrow. In an interview he said it took the British Police about 2 seconds to take them down.

Aww love seeing pics of Britney but bet she hates it. She always seems like someone who loves being on stage but off stage wants to be a normal everyday mum.
