Hands-On Activities Are Perfect for Learning About Emotions

If you'd looking for simple yet fun ways to help your kids learning more about feelings, you'll love these printable playdough activities.

Hands-on activities make abstract concepts, like feelings, easier to understand and apply to real-life situations, especially kids with anxiety.

When I worked as a mental health therapist with children (and with my own 5 boys), I often used hands-on tools, like playdough and coloring activities, to open up conversation and teach lessons.

Activities with hands-on tools also are awesome for reinforcing lessons presented in books, videos, and other printed work (like this free printable emotional regulation worksheet set).

Hands-on activities give your kids something to focus on while chatting about different emotions and situations.

Plus, resources, like these playdough emotions activities (and our other free pack of emotion playdough mats), are wonderful for building and encouraging growth mindset skills.
