In addition, the instructions include a small interesting introduction to the topic of emotions that you can post as a brief information piece for parents. <\/p> Games playable without language You can play the fun games even with children who do not speak German or do not speak at all, thanks to the variants that require no language understanding. <\/p> <\/p> Basic emotions presented across cultures The images are based on FACS (Facial Action Coding System). This makes them understandable worldwide and across cultures. No matter which country a child or adult comes from, the facial expressions are understandable. As a result, children and adults from very different cultures can play together, communicate about feelings, resolve conflicts, build empathy and develop an understanding for one another. <\/p> English & German terms for feelings Our Feely supports you with the English terms for feelings, which appear on each of the feeling cards next to the German names. This makes the Feely an ideal game for bilingual settings and supports cross-cultural understanding. <\/p> Includes participatory story about feelings The Feely includes a short participatory story about a child’s birthday in the appealing instruction booklet, in which Leo experiences all the basic emotions in everyday, child-appropriate ways. The read-aloud story contains gaps that the children complete with the matching feeling as the sought word. <\/p> Supports relationship building, a positive group atmosphere & emotional-social competence <\/h3> With the Feely you support building relationships with the children. They feel understood, taken seriously in their feelings and develop trust in you as a caregiver. The group atmosphere also improves through the nice activities of your Feely materials. Children can be supported in conflict situations using the feeling cards and develop empathy for the other children in the group. In this way you support children’s social competence through playful activities and ensure a pleasant way of interacting with one another. <\/p> Scientifically grounded - according to Paul Ekman & FACS What is FACS?<\/h3> FACS (Facial Action Coding System) describes the cross-cultural facial representation of emotions. A facial expression that is naturally rooted in us humans. We automatically display this when experiencing basic emotions. <\/p> What are the 7 basic emotions?<\/h3> The basic emotions recognized by scientists worldwide such as Paul Ekman are: joy, surprise, fear, anger, disgust, sadness & contempt.<\/p> Feelings.

Embracing Seat - soft children's armchair made of foam Security - like a hug Our soft children's armchair feels like a hug. And a hug can do a lot: it can strengthen children, comfort them and bring a smile. It is like its own language. A language children speak from birth. How valuable it is to use this language to give children a place of security in their everyday lives. Mobile retreat for observing Hardly has an exciting new discovery been explored when the children are already magically drawn to the next adventure. After all, there is so much to discover. That is not only exciting but also exhausting. How good that it exists: the Embracing Seat. The retreat. The brilliant thing: with the Embracing Seat the child can still take part in what is happening. Because unlike fixed cuddle corners, our soft foam seat can be carried easily and flexibly from place to place. This gives children the opportunity to process all the impressions and enjoy the exciting bustle from a different perspective. Because in our soft armchair the child can withdraw and still experience being part of the group. Support for settling in Our Embracing Seat is particularly valuable for children who are still in the settling-in phase. The children's armchair provides support, security and exactly the sense of safety that many children still lack at the beginning. Relying on an adult for this is not easy for every child, especially if no bond has yet been formed. Finding relaxation & calm A day can be quite turbulent. Whether among all the other children in kindergarten or after exciting adventures at home. With our children's armchair you give nursery and kindergarten children exactly the place of calm they need. A place of relaxation. Ritual & easy transition to bed Our Embracing Seat is the ideal companion for the transition from an exciting day to bedtime. It gently wraps the child. It provides security and helps to let go — of the day, of experiences. All the tensions are relieved by the supporting cushion. Perceive & regulate feelings Feelings can really overwhelm children. Much feels new and often quite intense. The Embracing Seat offers children a safe place where they can perceive and feel themselves. Gently enveloped, the Embracing Seat provides the security on which other feelings can also find a suitable space. The touch of the seat cushion activates the sensing of one's own body and helps children to arrive with themselves. The Embracing Seat provides the ideal basis for experiencing one's own emotional world and serves as a valuable companion for a harmonious, balanced atmosphere. Cozy foam with high-quality faux leather cover Besides its special shape, our Embracing Seat owes its coziness to a deliberately chosen interior. The vinyl material molds to the body and thus supports the feeling of pleasant contact. The specially manufactured faux leather cover is certified with the European EN 71 1-3 label. This means that it is a high-quality material free from any harmful substances — therefore ideal for children. The light green of our children's armchair was also chosen intentionally. Green stands for calm. It forms the middle ground between calm blue and radiant yellow. A fresh tone independent of age and gender. Easy to clean To prepare the Embracing Seat for all situations, it is equipped with a cover that makes cleaning easier. Whether tears of joy, marks of sadness or a few yogurt fingers, simply wipe with household cleaners. Disinfectants can also be used without concern as long as they are free of acetone, benzene and isopropyl alcohol. Compared to upholstered furniture and other retreats, the Embracing Seat offers a cozy place that lasts. Cleanliness to snuggle into. Sit in. Arrive. Feel safe. That is the Embracing Seat by KRAFT.
