The story
The goal: Bring Heartwood Meadow back into bloom by helping the animals notice each other again.
Your child’s part: Your child reads the feelings on faces, works out why someone is sad and shows Poppy how to ask before helping. As the animals start noticing each other, the meadow comes back into bloom in time to welcome new neighbours.
Kindness and empathy mean noticing how others feel and choosing to show care. Children practise reading faces, listening and doing small thoughtful things.
Why parents might choose it
- You’d like them to notice when a friend is upset
- Sharing and taking turns are still tricky
- You want kindness to feel natural, not forced
Just gentle ideas to help you choose.
The Kindness Journey
Here’s what a mission looks like
The story goal: Bring Heartwood Meadow back into bloom by helping the animals notice each other again.
Mission 1 · Feelings Garden
Ages 5-6 · Growing Minds
Faces in the Flowers
Poppy says: “Oh dear. The flowers look so muddled without their names. I want to put the labels back, but I always guess too fast.”Poppy
- About 10 to 15 min
- Story read aloud to them
- Guided play, growing independence
- Matching
Inside the Feelings Garden, every flower has a little face in its petals. One flower is smiling. One is frowning. One has its mouth open wide, like an O.
Each flower used to have a label with its feeling on it. But last night a big wind blew all the labels into a heap by the gate.
First, a choice: 3 options
- The eyes
- The mouth
- The eyebrows
On the printed page: Draw a line from each flower to its label.
By the end they have: Feelings flower set matched; Face clues added to the toolbox.
You will need: The flower page (or any paper) · A mirror or a shiny spoon (optional) · Crayons
- Look at the five flower faces: happy, sad, cross, worried and surprised.
- Match each flower to its label. Draw a line, or lay the cut-out label on top.
- Copy each flower's face in a mirror or the back of a shiny spoon.
- Tell Poppy which clue helped you most: eyes, mouth or eyebrows.
Smaller step if needed: Match three flowers (happy, sad, cross) and copy just those.
The grown-up’s part: If your child's match differs from yours, ask what they noticed. Faces can mean more than one thing.
At teatime or in a picture book, spot one feeling face and tell your grown-up which face clue gave it away.
What it practises: Practise reading feelings from faces by looking at three clues: eyes, mouth and eyebrows.
Word for word from Mission 1 of the draft The Kindness Journey for ages 5-6. The edition is not yet approved, so wording may change, and the mission’s own illustrations are still to come.
