The colour monster

At Limes Farm Infant School and Nursery we have been using "The Colour Monster" to help the children settle in after the summer holidays. The book is a wonderful tool to help young children understand their feelings. 

We know that coming back to school after the summer holidays can bring all sorts of feelings. That's why we're using the wonderful story of The Colour Monster to help our little ones settle in. The Colour Monster is all mixed up, but with the help of a little girl, he learns to sort his feelings—like happiness, sadness, and anger—into their own jars. This story helps us talk about our emotions and understand that it's okay to feel all the different colours inside. It's a gentle and colourful way to start the school year and feel happy, calm, and ready to learn!
