The children must help the monster fill his jars by drawing people, things, or places that make them feel each of the feelings identified.

As opposed to a color your heart activity (where the feelings are separate) the Color Monster’s feelings can be mixed up. I have been using this drawing activity for a prompt of how teens feel currently and having them fill out a second for how they desire to feel. You can go deeper with young people and identify triggers, how they felt it in their bodies, warning signs of these feelings, and choices that might be helpful vs unhelpful to honor what is going on for them over the week. El monstruo no sabe lo que le pasa y muchos niños tampoco lo saben, están llenos de emociones que no tienen un nombre y no tienen una comprensión y al darle un color, al darle una descripción de acuerdo a ese color se abre una oportunidad muy simple para explicar algo tan complejo.I help therapists that work with kids and teens go from a place of stress and survival to inspired and thriving. The colour monster, at first, has no way of organising his thinking or feelings and it takes a wiser, more reflective hand, to sort them out and guide him through them. You could take it one step further and use it as an emotion regulation tool for a child who could stick his/her colour monster on a chart that the teacher and the child has access to so that the teacher could easily see how the child is feeling. Here’s hoping this activity brings you and your clients some superpowers to help untangle those messy, chaotic, and confusing feelings! A little girl takes the monster by the hand and gently helps the Color Monster untangle and separate out all of these feelings and put them into jars.

Desde entonces, diseña productos originales, escribe e ilustra libros e imparte cursos de creatividad y emociones. What you sent looks like a great picture of the resource, but the actual sheets that our students can use would help a lot. The children might like to experiment with paint or water and food dye by mixing colours to see what new colours they can make. I give child therapists the resources, tools, and skills they need to be effective and confidentin their practice!I love this book It was on a list of suggested books when I was taking my early childhood education classes.

Maybe they could take pictures of what they are eating and make a Rainbow Food Diary to share with everyone. For a lot of the littles (and teens too) that we work with there can be a lot of judgement that comes with anger and a portion of the therapeutic work can go towards decreasing shame about this real, normal, human emotion.

I would then ask the students to pick the color of the emotion they feel today and create an artwork with that color. I have tried this on multiple computers so I am thinking the way that it downloaded for you is an individual computer issue (ie both of the worksheets should not be on the same page and are not when I access my copy). Then a little girl comes along to help the colour monster sort out his colours (emotions) so that by the end of the story they are all sorted out and jarred up.
