If preferred, children can draw around their hand/foot instead.
In addition, this is an activity that could be revisited at a later date to demonstrate change and growth.

Ideal for use within a classroom or preschool environment (but also adaptable as an individual resource for slightly younger children). Each child can colour in a set of footprints individually and then add their name (or have it added for them). After, the footprints can be placed along a classroom floor for lining up and every day they line up they are looking at their name. The sheets can also be used for younger children as part of developing the ability to recognise their own body parts and their written name.

These playdough mats are perfect for gaining an insight into the day to day feelings of those in your care. Useful as a tool to explore feelings 1:1 with a child. However, they may be especially useful as a fine motor activity within a setting/school which also allows adults to tell at a glance the feelings of children within a group. This could be a particularly beneficial tool in assessing the feelings of those settling into a new setting. In addition, it aids in the mindfulness practice of recognising emotions.

It also may encourage children to share with their families insights into their day.

World Kidney Day is a global awareness campaign held annually on the second Thursday of March to highlight the importance of kidney health, raise awareness about kidney disease, and encourage prevention, early detection, and treatment. World Kidney Day (WKD) was founded in 2006 as a joint initiative by the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations (IFKF). The goal was to raise awareness of kidney disease and promote better prevention, diagnosis, and treatment worldwide.
