Let’s explore colour some more through messy play! The children might like to experiment with paint or water and food dye by mixing colours to see what new colours they can make. What colours can they create and what feelings do they link with their new colours? This feelings monster worksheet is ideal for use during an 'All About Me' or 'ourselves' topic to encourage children to develop an understanding of feelings and emotions.
