As a childcare practitioner, Wendy White feels that it is important that every child learns personal, social and emotional skills at an early age. This can be a challenge for some children simply because they do not have the words to express themselves. Wendy developed My Mood Stars not only to teach children about emotions but to tease out bottled up feelings that children may have been harbouring. Unlike other emotion resources, My Mood Stars are sot and tactile and are indeed toys and can be spoken to just like a child may talk to their favourite soft toy. It is very telling listening to what children say to My Mood Stars. Often it is something that they have not had the opportunity or inclination to tell their parent or carer. My Mood Stars come with their own My Mood Stars board onto which they can pop on and off for extended and imaginary play. Wendy has also written a book "My Mood Stars" which again encourages children to open up about how they are feeling (at that precise time of reading/being read to) Each day the child's response may be different, teasing out issues relevant to that moment. My Mood Stars is designed for ages 9 month to ninety years as they make wonderful comfort toys for our older generation due to their soft texture and size, evoking memories that may have been forgotten. Rat's Musical Band. Wendy wrote Rat's Musical band for the children that she minded as a child minder. Rat's Musical Band is a story about a blue rat with a tune on his mind. He would like to realise the tune as a symphony but where was he going to find a musical band? This delightful story allows children to use their imaginations and animal sounds as the bee, mouse, cricket snake frog and lark all join in Rat's audition process! Rat's Musical Band is a story of co-operation, friendship, working as a team and gratitude! Tooth Fairy Pockets Wendy went through a stage of her child minding career with four wobbly-toothed children at the same time! A keen needle woman and crafter, Wendy set about making super cute Tooth Fairy Pockets into which the children put their freshly fallen fangs for the Tooth Fairy to collect and exchange for a coin! In pink , blue or NGS colours, Tooth Fairy Pockets also make a lovely keepsake for your children's teeth.
