The Feelings Furballs are a set of fun, relatable characters which help children explore their emotions and develop their emotional regulation skills. There are lots of ideas in this highly practical book for building children's vocabulary, allowing them to understand and express their feelings more easily. The book also includes lots of interactive activities to use with the children in your class. A very handy resource for early years classrooms and primary schools!
The Feelings Furballs is a gem! It combines relatable, likeable characters with therapeutic, evidence-based activities that build emotional literacy and regulation. Lynn's approach normalizes all emotions and extends vocabulary through creative, engaging tasks. It's a book that feels both professionally sound and personally supportive.
At a time when SEMH is high on the agenda in all schools, The Feelings Furballs is a fantastic tool for supporting young people to deal with their emotions and feelings. It will be accessible for all ages in the primary years but could also be used by older students with additional needs. For many years, I have campaigned for the teaching of the vocabulary associated with emotions and feelings from a very young age to enable our children to be able to communicate to us how they are feeling. The Feelings Furballs does this brilliantly. The book offers a school all the resources it would need to implement the Feelings Furballs as a whole school approach to embedding the vocabulary of emotions and feelings to support the SEMH curriculum for all pupils.
Packed with playful ideas and relatable characters, The Feelings Furballs provides educators with fun and meaningful ways to help children develop emotional awareness and regulation.
