Moppy Deluxe Pack 4 Story books, the Moppy Handbook and 2 Moppy Posters £45.00
Comes with 2 Moppy posters. Some children cannot use words to express their feelings so, if you connect strong emotions to colour this gives those children a wonderful way of communicating their moods. Moppy is a lovable character who feels things so intensely that he changes colour. When he is angry he turns red, when he is calm he turns a cool pale green, when he is happy he glows with a sunny yellow and when he is sad he turns a chilly blue. Teachers can laminate brightly coloured 'leaves' so children can, as they come in the morning hang them up on a class feeling tree - "morning Miss, red today". Jenny Mosley's circle time handbook for the Moppy series brins teh Moppy series alive for children and teachers, it shows how you can use these little books in many different ways. jenny has written circle lesson plans around each of these books. Each lesson plan offers creative and fun extension activities. "Moppy is so beautifully drawn! My children all wish they had their own Moppy - they all identify with his colourful moods." "Yep, this is what I needed. I had already bought the Moppy stories (delightful, by the way) but I needed clear ideas fo how to use them."

In every class there is a need to address how children behave and react to others in a range of situation. Jane Asher has written a series of books which look at a range of emotions such as being happy, sad, angry and calm through the ups and downs of Moppy, a lovable creature from outer space who interacts with a family and particularly David an only child. Colour is used to show Moppy’s personal feelings in a range of everyday situations. Scarfe’s illustrations are vivid and full of life, clearly showing emotion. These books would provide an excellent basis for class discussion or for working with children individually, who find it difficult to express or control their emotions. Colour as a medium for self-expression may help children who have literacy or language difficulties. The books could also pave the way for the setting of individual or class targets by looking at behavioural and emotional issues in an anonymous and often humorous way. For busy teachers, these books provide a useful resource for addressing behavioural and emotional issues and would soon become a favourite in an upper Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2 class library.
