Age range: 3-6

Theme Area: Talking about Feelings

Related Episode: A Smashing Success

Subjects/Skills: Art; Emotional Development

Materials Needed:
Old magazines
Construction paper
Glue or tape
Stapler

Directions:
Look through old magazines together to find pictures of people expressing emotions. For example, you might find a picture of a child who has spilled juice, someone who has fallen down, or a toddler who has broken something.

Work with your child to glue or tape each picture to a sheet of construction paper. Then, staple them together with a blank sheet of paper on top to create a book.

On the cover of the book, write, "How Would You Feel?" "Read" the book together with your child by turning the pages and looking at the pictures. As you look at each picture, ask, "What do you think happened? How would you feel?"

Encourage your child to make up stories for each picture, telling how the characters feel, and thinking about what could be done to help them feel better.
