Make Your Feelings Marks

Explore feelings through creative mark making with Dragon, Turtle, Monkey and Rabbit.

Children can experiment with lines, shapes, colours and patterns as they think about how different feelings might look. What might an angry line look like? How could an excited mark move across the page? There are no right or wrong answers. Every child can express feelings in their own way.

The simple question prompts encourage children to talk about their creations, connect their marks to different feelings and decide which Kingdom land they might belong in.

This resource includes:

• Four colourful mark making mats featuring the Kingdom creatures
• A title poster
• An open-ended question poster
• Simple prompts for exploring angry, sad, excited and calm feelings

Ideal for:

• Mark making areas
• Creative provision
• Feelings and emotions activities
• Kingdom Corners
• Small group discussions
• Nursery, Reception, KS1 and SEND settings

This activity supports emotional literacy, communication, creativity and early pencil control while giving children another way to explore and express their feelings.
