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 3-4 · Little Explorers
Faces in the Flowers
Poppy says: “Oh dear. Which flower feels happy? Which one feels sad? Which one feels cross?”Poppy
- About 5 to 8 min
- Story read aloud to them
- Parent-led throughout
- Matching
Boing! Poppy's ears pop up. "Look, Explorer! The Feelings Garden!"
Every flower here has a face. A sunny yellow flower. A droopy blue flower. A spiky red flower. But the wind blew their name cards away. Whoosh!
First, a choice: 3 options
- Sunny yellow flower
- Droopy blue flower
- Spiky red flower
On the printed page: Point to the flower that matches your grown-up's face.
By the end they have: Spot the face added to the toolbox.
You will need: The flower page in the book
- Your grown-up makes a big happy face. Together, point to the flower with the same face.
- Now a sad face. Now a cross face. Point to each flower and copy the face.
- Swap! You make a face, and your grown-up points to the flower.
Smaller step if needed: Just do happy and sad today.
The grown-up’s part: Make your faces really big and a bit silly. If your child picks a different flower, ask what they saw rather than correcting.
At bedtime, find one happy face in a picture book and say Spot the face! like Poppy.
What it practises: Practise spotting happy, sad and cross on a face by looking at the eyes and the mouth.
