The Mood Tracker Flower is a creative, visual way for children to track and reflect on their feelings each day. Designed in the shape of a flower with petals to colour in, this tool encourages children to assign colours to different emotions and fill in a petal based on how they feel.
This printable resource is perfect for classrooms, therapy sessions, and home use, offering a gentle way to build emotional awareness, support wellbeing, and encourage daily check-ins. It is especially helpful for children who find it easier to express emotions through visuals rather than words.
