This sensitive, empathetic activity book is perfectly designed to help children discuss and process their feelings.
Developed in consultation with professional child psychologist Dr. Katie O'Connell, this selection of 30+ drawing, colouring and puzzle-solving activities offer a chance for all children to explore and express emotions in a safe way.
Accompanied by wonderful full-colour illustrations, these activities include:
• Drawing around your hand, and writing 5 things that make you calm on the fingers
• Writing calming phrases on slips of paper and putting them in a jar to pull out when needing reassurance.
• Making a list of the sounds you hear in nature
Each fun activity builds resilience, releases inner calm, improves understanding or emotions and encourages positivity. Perfect for kids age 6+.
