Why not find someone at home... a cosy space and some thing fun to do, like colouring, lego or kicking a football about and catch up about going back to school...
Sometimes if can be really hard to feel calm, especially when there are a lot of changes and different things happening around us. Here is a document with some activities you could do when you are finding it hard to feel calm.
We got our brains together and came up with some ideas that could mix it up a bit and make being indoors a bit more fun...

How to make: Step 1: Put the flour and salt in a bowl and mix together Step 2: Mix in water and food colouring with spoon, although you may find using your hands is easier (and more fun) Step 3: It should now be able to make a nice smooth ball, if it's still a bit sticky add a bit more flour. Step 4: To make up different colours, do exactly the same again, but use different colour food colouring. Step 5: HAVE FUN!! |
Why make playdough?
Hide objects of different textures in it and see if you can find them, or get a family member close their eyes and guess what they are
Pretend to be an archaeologist, hide plastic dinosaurs and other plastic animals in it and using your archaeologist tools (fork and spoon) find them
Make smelly playdough with Lavender oil or other smelly oils, like vanilla extract to add to the calming effects of playdough
You could even add glitter for that extra glamourous touch
Cut it into shapes and create a playdough town or build a playdough road
We would love to see your playdough creations!
Why not send your pictures to wellbeing@cobden.leics.sch.uk

Happiness Jars
This is a great way to help children develop their resilience and coping strategies for tough times by getting creative and remembering the good times and things that help them to feel happy. It's also super simple and easy to do at home.
Why not do this activity as a family, you could all do one and then share your happy things... who knows some of them might be the same!
What will I need?
