Activities may include, but not be limited to, creating nameplates and learning about each other; drawing continuous line self-portraits with emotional expression; thank-you card making for people who help us; exploring family trees and traditions; creating feelings flip books unique to each child; exploring frustration and regulating emotions with scribbling and collage; sorting out feelings with clay and storytelling, calm place visualizations and keyhole boxes; building a heart city together; decorating and using a worry box; foil sculptures of friendly creatures, among others. Located in Bellevue. For more information, email Pamela or call (206) 832-1271
