Flying Start @ Penryn Celebrate World Mental Health Day Through Crafts!

Flying Start @ Penryn used one of the children’s favourite resources – play dough – to explore emotions for World Mental Health Day!

The children made emotion balls, which they then took home for their parents to also use, to encourage them to ‘take ten’ and talk about how they are feeling.

The children also made their own faces out of playdough, on templates, to allow them to change the expressions and play around with this!

The keyworkers spoke to their children about what makes them happy, and how they can feel better after feeling a little bit upset.

Well done Flying Start @ Penryn – some great ideas for how playdough can be used to explore emotions, and as a talking tool!
