Also included in this bundle is "How do they Feel?" Printable Book (my current best-selling product!)

This printable book is designed to help children identify the emotions that other people might be feeling. Each page contains an illustration of a child and a short description of what that child has experienced, followed by the question, "How does ____ feel?"

For example, on one page a girl is shown with an ice cream cone that has fallen to the ground. The text on that page says, "Ella dropped her ice cream cone on the sidewalk. How does Ella feel?"

Teachers or parents can use the mini-stories on each page to help children identify and talk about their own emotions as well as the emotions of others. Children are encouraged to look at facial features and body language to help to identify the feelings of other people.

You can also purchase each of these packets individually:

When I Feel Angry

When I Feel Frustrated

When I Feel Worried

When I Feel Left Out

This project is a creative way for children to identify and acknowledge their anxieties. Sometimes we all carry around worries. They might be about school, home, friendships or even changes in our life. This activity encourages children to think about their worries and put them on their own worry tree. They can write down all of their worries and put them on the tree so that they don’t need to carry these worries around with them anymore. When the worries have been placed on the tree, it opens up discussion around strategies and ways that they can cope with that worry.

This resource includes:

- What is a Worry Tree

- My Worries (What do I want to talk about) worksheet

- When I feel Worried Brainstorm

- Coping Skills Poster

- Rainbow Breathing

WHAT TO DO

If you have a worry all you have to do is to write your worry on a leaf. Use some glue and glue your worry on the tree. Your tree will keep it safe until you have explored your worry with someone and thought of some coping strategies. As time goes by, you can use the butterflies and birds to take the worries away!
