June is all about our feelings and emotions, inspired by the Colour Monster by Anna Llenas. It is a wonderful book helping children name and manage their emotions. We've got four fun activities including a mindful sensory tray.
Each activity kit includes everything you need, for 1 or 2 Mini Makers to make —
😈 Muddled Monster: Sometimes our emotions get all muddled and this mindful threading activity helps us name when we fell all muddled up.
⚙️ Emotions Wheel: Let's make an emotion wheel to help us communicate what we are feeling and when. It is fun to make and useful afterwards to help when we're trying to explain how we are feeling.
💕 I Love Me: This crafty picture is all about positive affirmations and thinking about what qualities we love about ourselves. Probably an activity us adults could do with too!
🌈 Sensory Tray: Our emotions sensory tray is a multicoloured extravaganza full of fidget fun. Practice their fine motor skills sorting the coloured chickpeas into the right emotion pot and explore all the textures of the tray for a mindful activity.

Mini Makers Like Learning
Our kits are developed by an early years practitioner with over 20 years of experience in line with the EYFS Framework. This means the activities are thoughtfully put together to encourage confident, able children who will thrive in their nursery or school; making them open to learning and new tasks, problem solving, and imaginative play.
Mini Makers are Bright
Crafting activates all of your child’s senses, which are essential to help them understand the world they are growing up in. New pathways are formed in their brain each time your child tries an activity.
Mini Makers are Strong
Making stuff is amazing for their gross and fine motor skills. Little muscles become stronger the more they practice. It also helps develop their coordination and with using opposite sides of their brain, for example when they hold something with one hand and use scissors with the other.
Mini Makers are Happy
Creative and sensory activities are great tools for calming anxious or frustrated little ones. Making also creates a safe space for expression and open conversation.
