THE COLOR MONSTER

by Anna Lienas

MATCHING, COUNTING, AND FINE MOTOR

Theme: Colorful Feelings: Identifying, Sorting, and Regulating Our Emotions 

Focus: The Color Monster wakes up feeling confused, mixed up, and multicolored! With the help of a kind friend, he learns to separate his feelings and put each one into its own special jar.
