Try this at home tuff tray! "Feelings Faces"
As this week has been Children's Mental Health Week the tuff tray this week is all about feelings!
All you need is :
- A mirror.
- Paper plates, pipe cleaners, coloured pens.
- Salt poured onto a plate and a brush.
- The colour monster story of you have it (although most of our little ones are aware of the various feelings and related colours by now, I will also attach the poster to reference).
This is a perfect activity to get talking about and recognising feelings with your child.
Read through the story or poster and look at the different feelings , ask your child if they know how they're feeling today (the mirror can help with this if they are not quite sure).
Use the salt and brushes to practise different faces, then once your confident with the feelings go ahead and make your own paper plate face the colour your feeling today!
I've loved seeing what you guys have been creating at home so please do bring in your faces to show off next week!
