Happy as a Lamb

Are you as HAPPY as a lamb, or as GRUMPY as a goat? Jump around the room like a little spring lamb. How do you feel now?

A positive, energetic and playful way for children aged 2 to 5 years to recognise their emotions and lift their mood. The different animal characters visualise each emotion – from excited to sad, joyful to angry – so children can identify and communicate their own feelings. Underneath the puzzle pieces are funny or reassuring things for children to do to lift their mood or turn negative feelings into more positive ones.

Self-regulating emotions is a learned skill. This book offers strategies for children to practise, such as fun physical activities, mindfulness, breathing techniques and reassurance. The book also offers parents and carers a tool to open conversations to foster good mental health through play.

The double-sided puzzle pieces fit together for extra fun - good for concentration and mastering fine motor skills.

Emotions included: happy, grumpy, excited, sad, safe, scared, joyful, angry, proud, embarrassed.

Also available in the Choose Your Mood Puzzle Book series is Brave as a Lion, which focuses on feelings: brave, worried, cuddly, lonely, calm, jumpy, bold, shy, strong, lazy.
