\u2639 STEM Emotion Activity <\/u><\/strong>\u263a<\/p>\n

Here is a fun, hands-on science experiment that is helpful to explain and show the different intensities of our emotions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes our emotions are small and manageable,\u00a0 but sometimes our emotions feel huge, overwhelming and uncontrollable, and this is when they spill out, just like in our experiment, but sometimes not in the best of ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need some kitchen roll tubes or toilet roll tubes,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Baking powder<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Food colour<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Vinegar<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Water<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A pen<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A tray or tub<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll cut the carboard tubes and chat to your wee one about what different faces\/emotions\/feeling you\u2019d like to put on them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a great chance to use a mirror to make different emotion faces, discuss things that make you feel each way, names for different emotions and do some mark making to see your childs interpretation of their different emotions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Place the carboard tube faces into the tray, and add some baking powder (the more you add, the bigger your results will be!) and some food colouring.\u00a0 Another great opportunity to discuss the link between different colours and emotions and feeling, and which colour they would like to add to which face.\u00a0\u00a0 Remember there are no right or wrong answers to this, it just helps build your childs level and add another dimension of understanding of their varying emotions!\u00a0 Why not even mix different food colours to see what happens!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, you\u2019ll add a mix of vinegar and water, and watch the overspilling emotions!!\u00a0 Was the anger REALLY overflowing?\u00a0 Or maybe just a little spill of worry?\u00a0 Was there a big bit of happy, or just small?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A fun, play based way to show how our feelings come in waves, sometimes intense and overspilling, uncontrollable, and sometimes in small doses.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can use some of the other materials on the blog to discuss with your child, ways to manage overspilling emotions, such as mindfulness and calm-down strategies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Big hugs!\u00a0 Sarah \ud83d\ude0a x<\/strong><\/p>\n
