This is my friend the colour monster.

    Today he’s all mixed up and very confused.

He doesn´t know why.

Look at you, you’re all over the place!

That’s because your feelings are all stirred together,

So your colours are too.

I know! Let’s put each feeling

in a different jar so we can look at it

more closely. I can help if you like.

HAPPINESS

This is happiness.

It shines yellow like the sun

and twinkles like the stars.

You feel bright and light. You laugh, you jump,

you dance! You want to share that feeling with everyone.

SADNESS

This is sadness.

It’s gentle like a blue rainy day.

Sadness can make you cry.

It can make you feel alone.

But if you’re sad, I’ll hold your hand.

ANGER

This is anger.

It blazes red like fire.

Anger can make you want to stomp and Rooooooaaaaaaarrr!

and shout, “It’s not fair!”

FEAR

This is fear.

It is black like the night and hides

in shadows like a scaredy cat.

Being afraid can make you feel very small

and alone.

If you’re scared, tell me why

and we’ll walk through the forest together.

CALM

This is calm.

It’s quiet like the trees

and soft like their leaves.

Now you’re calm,

You breath slowly and deeply.

Ahhhhhhh! You feel at peace.

There,we’ve finished!

Here are your feelings.

Let’s look at them together.

But what’s this?

You look different, Colour Monster

Er…how do you feel now?
