A Box Full of Feelings is designed to support the social-emotional development of children aged two to seven. The set is built around four basic feelings happy, sad, angry and afraid.

The Box contains the basic material to get children involved in more than 20 different activities, all year round. They can be offered in a flexible way: as guided group activities, as optional activities, as part of a separate area for social-emotional development or occasionally as a response to certain events.

Use A Box Full of Feelings to help children remain or get in touch with their inner world of feelings, recognise emotions in themselves, accept them, name them and have a more differentiated awareness of the. Gradually they will also learn to take perspective of others; perceptions and emotions, to feel the impact of their actions and realise that people don't experience events in the same way. All of this is at the heart of emotional intelligence.

The impact of using the box is significant: practitioners' report how how children are more alert to the utterances of feelings, how they use a more differentiated vocabulary concerning emotions, how their intuitions become more refined and how their role-taking capacity expands.

Because they can express feelings in a more appropriate way their capacity to cope with painful experiences gets stronger, with inner calm and serenity as a result. This is even reflected at group level.
