Exploring emotions with festive friends and decorations


This magical project is not just crafting festive characters or traditional decorations it’s also about giving life to feelings! Each child will have the chance to explore and express their emotions through their very own festive friend or decoration. It’s a journey of self-discovery and creativity that makes Christmas even more special.


How to create Heartfelt Choices:


Invite each child to reflect on their feelings. How are they today? Let them choose an emotion that speaks to them.


Expressive Design: Add felt, pom poms, foam shapes and paint to lollipop sticks to create outfits and decorative features.


Eyes that Speak Volumes:


Guide the children to select wiggly eyes or use pens to add eyes that convey the essence of their chosen emotion.


Share the Feeling: Ask children to add a ribbon scarf, hat or decorative feature to give a final touch that emphasizes their chosen emotion. Even ask children to give their festive friend a name.
