PSHE craft activities
We know how much children enjoy getting involved in a craft activity. Why not use them to cover PSHE at the same time? It’s a great way of getting them to open up and express their feelings, which is something that is more important than ever in the current times. Here are a couple of suggested activities from our curriculum buyer Rachael.
My Feelings Pets
Take a moment to think about certain things that might make you feel upset or maybe irritate you, you might feel cross or angry or it might make you sad and cause you to cry. It’s important to express how we feel and sometimes this might be writing a journal or talking it through with a friend but sometimes we can use other ways to express our inside feelings and you could try making a feelings pet! Feelings come in all shapes and sizes and can be big and small, so anything goes with a feelings pet!

Your feelings pets are finished and can go anywhere with you or be there just as a friend to talk to when you need one.

Choose some different coloured balloons which will be the body of your pet.
Fill your balloon to the desired size with some plain flour (but not too big just enough so your pet can fit into the palm of your hand), and tie a knot in the top to secure it. You can use either a plastic funnel or make one using an old drinks bottle by cutting the bottle in half then securing your balloon to the bottle. Be careful of sharp edges though!
3
Get some coloured pipe cleaners and give your pet some hair by entwining round the knot of your balloon.

You can stick some wiggly eyes on them and draw a face that reflects different feelings and emotions you might feel sometimes. Why not create a full family of feelings!
