EYFS Build a Mood Tree – Item 433

Judging a child’s state of mind can be really important when getting the right help for the child or for knowing what to work on with the child. Is this something the ELSA can deal with or does the child need referring for expert help? Often a child struggles to tell you how they feel and this idea is brilliant for children to be able to tell you their mood or emotion. Leaves are assigned colours according to the mood of the child.  A tree to fill in daily over one week and a tree to fill in daily over one month. There are also leaves with facial expressions and white blank leaves so children can make their own mood tree. Not every child enjoys colouring but they might like a bit of cutting and sticking.

Included in the pack:

• Monthly mood tree – colour one leaf a day over 4 weeks
• Weekly mood tree – colour one leaf a day over one week
• Build a mood tree – build your own mood tree by cutting and sticking leaves with facial expressions
• A3 tree template if you want to make things a bit bigger
• 12 Different facial expressions with a range of suggestions for emotion words
• Black and white leaves for cutting out, drawing a face on and colouring
