Sometimes, finding words for feelings can be difficult. Playing together can give your child another way to show you what’s happening for them, with space to talk if they want to.

Understanding Big Feelings Through Play Dough offers simple play dough activities for feelings, worries and moments of connection. Follow your child’s interests as you squish, roll, shape and explore together.

Your 15-page printable PDF includes:

• 5 activity mats to explore worries, feelings weather, different emotions and a calming garden

• 20 feelings cards to support recognising and sharing emotions

• Guidance for parents and carers on playing alongside their child

• A homemade play dough recipe

• 12 additional activity ideas

There is no need to finish a mat, make a perfect creation or explain every feeling. Your child can talk, point, create or simply enjoy your company.

This is a digital download. No physical product or play dough is included. Adult supervision is required.

Created for shared play and connection; this pack is not a treatment.
