Could emotional literacy be more important than ABCs? 🤔 This week, inspired by The Colour Monster, we explored feelings through stories, play, art and conversation. Emotional literacy helps children recognise, understand and talk about their emotions, laying the foundations for confidence, friendships, resilience and school readiness. Discover why learning the language of feelings may be one of the most important skills children develop in the early years. ❤️

What does Elmer the Elephant teach children about emotional regulation? At Fun Box Day Nursery, we explored how stories, play and supportive relationships help children recognise, express and manage big feelings safely. Through colourful Elmer activities, emotional literacy games, messy play and storytelling, the children developed confidence, communication and resilience while learning that all feelings are welcome and that they do not have to manage them alone.
