Free printable feelings cards

Free printables feelings cards! Some time ago I shared on my instagram stories emotions cards that I made from recycled cardboards,and a lot of people loved it AND some asked for printables,so I made these ones that you can print and cut to play with your kids and learn about feelings and emotions. I wanted to create different characters but for now you can find just two of them,and you can find them on this post,just scroll down!

I made 6 emotions: angry, happy, surprised,sad,scared and confused. These are perfect for young children . I drew two “portraits” of my girls recycling cardboards,then I drew all the eyes and mouth expressions. You can glue an envelope behind the “face part” to keep all the parts together. I also added velcros but it’s optional! You can use cardboards like I did,or laminate all the parts it might be a great option too.

Why do you need this?

When kids learn to manage their emotions in childhood it leads to positive attitudes and behaviours later in life. That kind of play will help them identify different moods and it allows your child to develop an emotional vocabulary so they can talk about their feelings.

Some of the ways you can help your child learn about and express their feelings:

-Tune into cues: observing their behavior, figuring out what they feel

-Try to understand the meaning behind the feeling: behind every behavior there is a feeling,once you know which one,you can help your kid to find other ways to express that feeling.

-Name the feeling.Naming feelings is the first step in helping kids learn to identify them

– Identifiy feelings in books or cartoons,in order to develop an emotional vocabulary so they can talk about their feelings.

-Be a model,embrace all the feelings,talk about them , express your emotions,kids learn from us.

-always listen to your child’s feelings.When feelings are minimised or dismissed, they will often be expressed in unhealthy ways

Zucchini pie

Today it’s about food and I am going to share a recipe that we tried yesterday for the first time. As we try as much as we can to have a plant based diet,we were looking for new vegan recipes and found this one,but small surprise!it turn out not to be a vegan recipe but a vegetarian one, because it has a lot of cheese and eggs. We tried anyway as we do eat eggs,from ecological local farmers,and also cheese even if we try to reduce our consommation. So here it is,the zucchini pie,an alternative meal to meat idea!

We planted some zucchinis last month,and hope that next year we’ll be able to cook that recipe with our own ones! zucchini season goes from June to September but can change depending on your location.

Puff pastry: 2 cup flour,1 tbsp salt,250gr plant based butter frozen, 2/3 cup cold water. Grate the butter and add it to flour (I put the flour in the fridge 15min) slowly mixing. Pour the cold water into the dough. Mix. Wrap with a cloth and leave it in the fridge for 30min. Roll the dough,fold a rectangle three times and let it chill in the fridge again for 1hour.

Filling:

1 shallot
1 garlic
4 zucchinis
20 gr olive oil
Put in the robot 4sec speed5
Then 10min,100°,speed1 ??

Drain and set aside
Add 250 gr ricotta,100gr spiced soft cheese,20 gr parmesan, 2 eggs 15 sec speed 3. Add the previous mix of zucchinis and mix 20 sec speed3

Preheat the oven 150°c

Take the puff pastry and prick with a fork. Slice into rings another two zucchinis and add them to the pie. Bake it 60min /150°c

Ta-da!ready to eat!hope you liked it!xx

DIY birthday ideas: Last week we celebrated the second birthday of our little one,and I wanted to share some ideas here,even if we made the same cake last year and I already shared the recipe,it’s just too delicious to not share again!

The original recipe cake is sugar free which is perfect for young kids,but this year I added these chocolate eggs from Easter in order to create the clouds of the rainbow ?

Ingredients:
Ingredients for the cake
1 ripe banana
75g/6 tbsp of coconut oil
120g/1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
4 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ginger
5 medium carrots (grated)
45g/ 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
a handful of walnuts ( chopped)
a handful of sultanas

How to:

Sift the flour, baking powder and spices into a bowl. Add the banana and the melted coconut oil and mix.
Whisk the eggs with a hand blender and add to the flour. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until blended.
Bake it for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
Icing : mascarpone, banana and whipped cream (whip the mix until thickened)

I always make a birthday crown for them, so this year I upcycled this one from scraps of a floral bedsheet. And I made some cardboard toppers to decorate the table?

Hope you like this year’s version!xx
