Collecting kids from school: Five response-provoking tips to get your after schoolers chatting.

We’ve all been there haven’t we?  Waiting in the school playground for our little cherubs to finish school and being a good Mummy, we put to the back of our heads what a crap day we’ve had, and when they are guided out of the class by their somewhat relieved looking...

These mood stars are lovely. My 6 year old has enjoyed playing with them and they are a great tool to remind children... about the variety of emotions and feelings. I also have to comment on what great service I received from Wendy when there was a slight hiccup with my order - she pulled out all the stops and nothing was too much trouble in order to solve it. Thank you Wendy. 😀read more

I was lucky enough to find a star cushion that was donated by Wendy to one of my local charity shops. It was so... wonderful to see it shining at me from the window. My 12 year old sons face lit up too when I brought it home for him. He's been begging for one since I told him about them. He struggles with emotions and often has a release during his sleep. I hear him sleep talking a lot and it affects him during the day. He took that cushion to bed and woke up the next day saying what an amazing sleep he'd had. Other than school it has not left his side and hes taken it to his uncles for a sleepover. I feel so proud to finally own one of these cushions. I did not expect something so simple to be so affective. These stars really are just amazing.🌟read more

WELL they arrived at the weekend and my son who is a year and a half old LOVES THEM. He was so excited to get them out of the bag and has started recognising some of them already! Thank you so much!read more

The mood stars are wonderful really tactile. They appeal to all ages. Definitely give you a happy feeling I ordered... some award stars and valentine stars to give as presents to the children at their graduation party before they left to start school. The stars all came presented in lovely organza bags no plastic wrappings so refreshing. Which meant they were already beautifully "gift wrapped" ready to present to each child. Both the children and families loved them. Thank you Wendy from us all for your beautiful stars.read more

I have just received My Mood Stars and I can honestly say they are absolutely beautiful!! As a Nursery Teacher these... stars will be the perfect resource for supporting children when we all return to school in September especially. I plan to use my stars to teach the children all about the emotions that we feel and that it’s ok to talk about them. If you haven’t already purchased these magnificent gems. I highly recommend that you do. You won’t be disappointed. The mood stars come in a lovely drawstring bag, alongside a pack that suggests some activities that you can compete with the children. What are you waiting for....read more

I don’t know where to start. I have wanted a set of My Mood Stars for what seems like forever. Not only do I love... the product, but I love Wendy White (their creator) too. She is fun, dedicated, and genuine. My Mood Stars clearly aren’t a regular toy or resource. My husband has been skeptical, and we were on a budget, so I held back. Then, the other day, I saw Wendy had introduced a coupon to buy the stars for just £15 (plus p&p). I ordered a set right away. My husband rolled his eyes and said, “We don’t need more junk he doesn’t play with.” Doubt crept in. My husband had a point. Our son does not play with toys. He is autistic and doesn’t play typically. We have Lego, cars, magnetic tiles, a train set, dolls, animals, puzzles, and more, all doing nothing. My son is 6-years-old. Was he too old for them or would he toss them aside like everything else? The My Mood Stars arrived today and I have never seen anything like it. My son looked at each of them with joy and wonder saying, “Mummy, these can help me talk about my feelings.” All day, he played and talked with them. All day. At bedtime, for the first time ever, he wanted a teddy. He chose Happy Star. Amazing. Worth every penny and more. My son is overjoyed. And, best of all, I proved my husband wrong. 😉read more

We absolutely love your ⭐️ MOOD STARS ⭐️! My son is really struggling at the moment bless him. He misses his friends... and also misses being at school with his teacher, so absolutely perfect timing when the stars came through the mailbox. A wonderful tool to be able to talk through and discuss emotions in a ‘fun’ interactive way. I’ll be recommending you to all his school friends’ parents. Great quality too! I’m very happy. 🥰read more

We use My Mood Stars a lot in our child mental health organisation. A valuable resource that is very versatile, with... plenty of opportunity for extension work as children’s understanding on emotion grows. Sensory, lightweight and without visual overload, we take ours everywhere with us. Love the workbook too! 🌈💚read more

It was a no brainer to introduce them into our EYFS unit . Your stars are frequently used for pshe work. We have done... planned and impromptu writing done linked to them, when we lost the shocked star. Our quieter and less emotionally resilient children are drawn to them. One eyfs boy told his brother about them in year 2 and they are a vulnerable family so now he comes and borrows them when he needs the particularly the worried and sad stars ⭐️ after he has held them for a few minutes, or had them in his pockets for a few minutes he is ready to talk about what has made him sad . Your stars have had a lot of use because the kids adore them! It was great listening to one of our children talk to our link governor about them the other day. They had a great discussion about each of the stars and what to do if you feel sad at school. Thank you!read more

What a wonderful lady and a great product. Very well made, just the right size for little fingers but equally... appealing to larger hands too. I couldn't keep my hands off them. Soft, easily washed with the soft side of velcro not too overstimulating or bright. Perfect level of contrast between the yellow stars and black features that clearly denote the different moods depicted. A wonderful learning aid or just great play things. Value - outstanding. I recommend everyone to buy a set whether you think you need them or not because they make a perfect emergency gift too. Thank you Wendy!read more

I would 100% recommended My Mood Stars. I bought them for my class last year and we love them so much that we are... getting them for the others classes across EYFS. My children absolutely love them. They were a life saver for my class last year (in particular with my EAL and ASD children)!⭐️read more

I recently bought your amazing Mood Stars. They are a hit in my house! My 6 year old started Year 1, and she has... Selective Mutism. SM comes from a lack of confidence - so we have tried for maybe 3-4 years now to build it up but still, she just gets very nervous around people, or in certain places, etc. She decided to take the Shy star in one of the badges since Day 1. She went in wearing it. I had a chat with her teacher... and at pick up time, she wasn’t wearing it! She’s been taking it, but inside her book bag. One day, she might decide to take the silly or happy star with her and leave the shy one at home! On the other hand, my 4 year old started reception... and she does not believe in shyness! She’s all over the place! She uses the board when she’s upset, as a distraction! She throws the stars and ends up laughing at how they get stuck on the board! I’ve sat with her on the floor just throwing the stars at the board! An absolutely amazing idea Wendy! :)♥️❤️💕 Sorry I hadn’t sent you a feedback before - lack of time!!!!!!!read more

Fantastic way to help children with their feelings. My twin boys have not stopped throwing them at the board and making... up fun games since we bought them. They immediately came up with idea of matching stars to the emotions of the characters on the TV! Whilst our boys are 7yrs, one is easily emotional and the other can struggle with larger groups of people and feel anxious, so both benefit from help expressing how they feel. Anything that makes this fun is brilliant and My Mood Stars does just that 🌟 And if you don’t know what to do with the box it arrived me.. why not do some craft?! Ours became a roman shield for a school project! See the comments for a photo 😆read more

I absolutely Love My Mood Stars, i bought these for my nephew who has ASD and he finds it difficult to articulate... himself. These wonderful little stars have helped him and his family immensely. We've seen a tremendous difference in him and his moods since using these. The frustration side of things has lessened a great deal as he is able to articulate to us how he is feeling. 5 stars from me. Beautifully designed and manufactured, thank you!read more

I bought My Moods Stars book back in July and have used it throughout the summer but it has really come into it's own... this week as my boy returned to school entering year 3. I've been able to tease out of him in a non obvious way using the book what he's feeling, what's gone well and what has bothered him. This has been a wonderful and unexpected bonus of working with the book. � So happy we bought one.read more

My children love playing with My Mood Stars. They are suitable for both pre-school and primary school aged children as... they are able to interact with the stars in so many different ways. Over the Summer the stars have been on many different adventures in the garden, into space in the rocket tent and on a picnic to name but a few. A lot of toys get played with and then abandoned to the toy box, but my children keep getting drawn to play with their My Mood Stars and love playing with them over and over again.read more
