When we can talk about our feelings, they can become a lot less overwhelming, or upsetting, or scary. Just having a caring listener makes hard times more manageable. Talking about feelings can be a challenge for young children. While you can encourage talking, you can also help them find other creative ways to express their feelings -through artwork or making up puppet stories, and other ways that you have found to be helpful in your family. http://pbskids.org/rogers/make_believe/feel.htm FOOD How People Make Fortune Cookies How People Make Plates http://pbskids.org/rogers/R_house/picpic.htm HALLOWEEN Common Missouri Spiders http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/nathis/arthopo/mospider/index.htm Missouri Bats http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/conmag/2000/03/4.htm Missouri Owls http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/nathis/birds/owls/ INSECTS AND SPIDERS Ant web sites and words and tune to “Ants Go Marching” http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/antsgo.htm Common Missouri Wasps and Bees http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/nathis/insects/mowasp/ Butterfly Gardening and Conservation in Missouri http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/nathis/insects/butterf/ MUSIC You can listen to, or make your own, thumb piano music. http://pbskids.org/africa/piano/haveflash.html NURSERY RHYMES www.mothergooserocks.com Popular artists sing classic nursery rhymes and songs—some with animations PETS How many dogs does Mr. Noodle want to walk?
