Set 19:Meet the Mood Munchers Early Years Edition & 3 characters

Meet the Mood Munchers – Early Years Edition 🌈💛

Give young children their first friendly language for feelings!

Meet the Mood Munchers Early Years Edition + 3 Mood Muncher Characters of your choice is a playful, practical resource designed to help young children recognise, name and talk about their emotions.

The Early Years Edition introduces children to the Mood Munchers and the feelings they represent, helping them connect emotions with everyday experiences.

A child might discover:

“I felt this when Mummy left.”
“I felt this when I won the game.”
“This is what happens in my tummy when I’m worried.”

By making these connections, children begin developing an emotional vocabulary they can use at home, in nursery and throughout their early years.

🌟 What's included?

📖 1 x Meet the Mood Munchers – Early Years Edition

A specially designed introduction to the Mood Munchers for young children.

The book introduces the characters and their different feelings, helping children explore emotions through simple language and relatable experiences.

It encourages children to begin recognising:

✨ What different feelings are
✨ When feelings might visit
✨ How feelings can feel in our bodies
✨ What experiences can trigger different emotions
✨ That everyone has feelings
✨ That all feelings are OK

🧸 3 x Mood Muncher Characters – Your Choice

Choose any 3 Mood Muncher characters to accompany your Early Years Edition.

The characters bring the emotions off the page and into children's hands.

Children can hold, play with, identify and talk about their chosen Mood Munchers, making emotions tangible and easier to explore.

Use them for storytelling, role play, emotional check-ins, small-group work or simply as a familiar companion when a child needs to talk.

Choose the 3 characters that are most relevant to the children you support.

🌈 Why Mood Munchers work so well with young children

Instead of simply asking:

“How are you feeling?”

adults can ask:

“Which Mood Muncher is visiting you?”

This gives children a visual and playful way to express something that can otherwise be very difficult to put into words.

The Mood Munchers approach helps children understand:

We are not our thoughts.
We are not our emotions.

Feelings are visitors. They come, they give us information and they can change.

🏫 Perfect for Nurseries & Early Years Settings

The Early Years Edition is ideal for nurseries, preschools, childminders and Reception classrooms.

Use the book and characters during:

🌈 Circle time
📖 Story time
🧸 Imaginative play
💬 Emotional check-ins
🎭 Role play
👫 Small-group activities
❤️ One-to-one conversations

The resource can support early development of emotional vocabulary, self-awareness, communication and emotional understanding.

👩🏫 A valuable resource for teachers

Create a shared emotional language that children can use throughout the school day.

Instead of behaviour being the only thing adults respond to, children can begin to communicate what may be happening underneath it:

“Jitter is visiting.”
“Blue is visiting.”
“I think I need some help.”

🏠 Take the learning home

Parents and carers can use the same characters and language at home, helping create consistency between home and Early Years settings.

Try asking:

“Which Mood Muncher visited you today?”

or:

“What happened that made that feeling visit?”

These simple conversations can help children connect experiences, feelings and responses.

👩⚕️ Helpful for health & wellbeing professionals

For professionals working with children and families, the Mood Munchers provide a visual, tactile and child-friendly tool for opening conversations about emotions and experiences.

The characters can give children something concrete to point to, choose and talk about when explaining how they feel is difficult.
