Welcome to Tovi’s World
Children experience enormous emotions every single day.
Sometimes those emotions are joyful.
Sometimes they’re confusing.
And sometimes they feel so incredibly BIG that it’s hard to know what to do with them.
That’s exactly why I wrote The Big Red Feeling.
In this story, readers meet Tovi, a thoughtful child who suddenly encounters a mysterious visitor known as The Big Red.
At first, The Big Red seems frightening.
It appears unexpectedly.
It grows larger.
It makes everything feel overwhelming.
But as the story unfolds, Tovi discovers something incredibly important:
The Big Red isn’t a monster.
It’s a message.
And once we learn to understand our emotions instead of fearing them, they become much easier to navigate.
Why Coloring Helps Children Process Emotions
Coloring isn’t just a fun activity.
Research has shown that creative activities like coloring can encourage:
- Emotional regulation
- Mindfulness
- Stress reduction
- Improved focus
- Fine motor development
- Emotional expression
- Conversation about difficult feelings
Many children struggle to explain how they feel using words alone.
Sometimes it’s much easier to color a picture, talk about a character, or point to an emotion than it is to describe what’s happening inside.
These printable pages were created with that idea in mind.
They pair beautifully with reading The Big Red Feeling, but they’re also wonderful as standalone SEL activities.
