My Project

Being able to name your feelings and explain why you feel that way is hard! The Little Spot books and Plushies let the youngest learners connect with different kinds of feelings. These lessons carry over into daily activities!

Providing students with the vocabulary to talk about emotions using colors and visuals helps students to connect with their emotions.

These stories presented in these books use consistent colors and visuals that encourage students even with limited vocabularies to express themselves.

These fun and interactive lessons allow all learners to grow and thrive.
