Series 306: Faces and Feelings
In this series of Play School we use a diverse range of stories, songs, craft and play to explore faces and feelings.
The human face is a first and most significant focus for the new born infant. Faces are full of life and variation and can show that someone is interested and responsive.
As young children grow and develop they begin to understand the ways in which faces can reflect thoughts and feelings and how they can use their own faces to express their own feelings. Greater understanding of facial expression and the feelings of oneself and others can help young children to learn to identify and respond positively to the feelings of others.
Come along as we make things for the Play School portrait gallery, play dress ups, meet some rabbit visitors, make a baguette crocodile and much more. We also look through the windows as children introduce us to some special faces in their lives.

IDEAS FOR LATER
- Use fruits and vegetables to make happy and sad faces on pita bread for lunch.
- Have a look at some photos of you when you were a baby or toddler. Did you always have a happy face? Were you tired and sleepy sometimes? What made you very happy or excited when you were little?
- Make a happy book for a friend by drawing all the things that you think would make your friend happy.
