A book for every child that is struggling to make friends.
Pit the koala has always been so shy – making friends feels scary, and saying hello can seem impossible. He spent so much time fearing judgment from others that he started doubting himself. But sometimes, the first thing to do could be understand yourslef.
This gentle and encouraging story reminds us that friendship begins with self-acceptance. With kindness, curiosity and a little courage, even the quietest hearts can grow.
This clay-based storytelling game is designed to support emotional recognition, expression, and regulation in toddlers and young children who are struggling to verbalise their feelings. By combining sensory play, narrative therapy and art therapy techniques, the game provides a safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate way for children to explore emotions through metaphor and creativity.
Using clay as a non-verbal medium for emotional expression which calms the nervous system and aids emotional regulations. Different colours of clay could help children better recognise each mood.
Using metaphors and symbolism for the prompt cards creates a safe distance for children to process real-life struggles and label their emotions indirectly through the story they create.
An open-ended play can feel chaotic for emotionally delayed children.
Providing twist cards for players provides gentle structure, guiding them towards resolution without pressure, while the problem cards activate stress. When players feel powerless in real-life struggles, twist cards could relieve them and build emotional resilience, which helps the whole story to be reframed.
