Our children have been reading The Colour Monster: A Story About Emotions by Anna Llenas, which assigns colours to emotions: yellow for happiness, red for anger, blue for sadness, black for fear, pink for love and green for calm. Inspired by the book, we created sensory bags with these colours, helping children explore and manage their emotions. This activity develops their fine motor skills, introduces new vocabulary, and supports emotional regulation by providing a tangible way to understand and express feelings. Using the iron to make the bags also introduced them to new technology. Sensory play with colour helps children connect with their emotions, laying a strong foundation for their social and emotional development. Understanding and managing emotions is essential for overall well-being, enabling children to form healthy relationships, cope with stress, and navigate social interactions effectively.
