What happens when something gross, slimy and completely unexpected turns an ordinary day upside down?

Yuck! The Slime Day Surprise is a fun, engaging story that helps children recognise, name and talk about feelings that can arise when things don't go as expected. Through relatable characters and playful storytelling, children learn that emotions are not who they are,they are simply visitors that come and go.

The Mood Munchers Difference

Unlike traditional books that simply explain emotions, the Mood Munchers bring feelings to life through memorable characters that children can relate to and remember.

When children can say:

💛 "Yuck is visiting me today."

instead of becoming overwhelmed by their feelings, they begin to understand that emotions are temporary visitors—not permanent parts of who they are.

This powerful shift helps children build confidence, resilience and emotional awareness that will benefit them throughout their lives.

🏡 Families💛 ELSA sessions

🤝 Counsellors and wellbeing practitioners

🌈 Children aged 3–11
