I stumbled across these 2 feelings symbol fans during the lunch break at Northamptonshire's Childminder Conference yesterday and thought they were a fab way of introducing and encouraging the sharing of more than the standard bad, sad, mad, glad feelings with young children and adults. Used them during my workshops on 'Terrific Twos' alongside
Bear Cards
, magazine pictures and children's fiction books to promote the message that it's never to soon to teach 'f' words as in words to describe how a person might be feeling.
Both are available from
The Play Doctors
and I paid £2.50 each.
Just checked out the website and it looks like they have a number of useful visual aids for promoting personal, social and emotional development that link really well with Protective Behaviours. Would love to hear if anyone has already used these as part of their PB work and how it went.
