These guides provide structured activities and conversation prompts to help children explore their emotions through creative expression.

Designed for educators, therapists, and caregivers, these activities use doodling, colours, and storytelling to encourage children to express themselves in a safe and fun way.

Welcome to the Resource Hub!

Little Creators (Ages 6-8)

This age group learns best through playful and creative activities that help them recognise, name, and express their emotions. The focus is on exploring feelings through drawing, storytelling, movement, and interactive games.

Growing Artists (Ages 9-10)

At this stage, children begin to connect their emotions to experiences, thoughts, and stories. They are developing more awareness of their emotional responses and can start expressing and reflecting on these feelings through creative activities.

Young Explorers (Ages 11-12)

At this stage, children are developing a deeper understanding of emotions, their triggers, and how to manage them. They can reflect on their feelings, recognize patterns, and explore healthy coping strategies.

Each activity includes:

Additional Tips for Parents, Educators & Therapists

  • Let children express themselves freely without worrying about whether their drawing is "right" or "wrong."

  • Share your own doodles and talk about your feelings to encourage openness.

  • Some children may prefer to keep their drawings private. Let them know that’s okay!

  • Start sessions with a quick doodle to see how children are feeling that day.
