Saul’s Emotions

Material

• Balloons
• Rice or playdough – enough to fill your balloons
• Colourful string, ribbon, raffia, etc.
• Black permanent marker
• Plastic eyes
• Glue

Steps

1. Place all the equipment on the DIY table.
2. Give a balloon to each child and tell them to fill it with playdough in small balls or rice.
3. Then tell them to get as much air out as possible and tie the balloon.
4. Ask them to decorate their balloon with string, ribbon or raffia. It’s going to be the hair.
5. Finally, tell them to draw a face with an emotion on the balloon, using a marker (joy, sadness, fear, astonishment, etc.) and stick the plastic eyes in the right place.
6. Make the connection with the story of the day.
