THE LITTLE WOODLANDS FEELINGS LAB USE THE PAGE TOGETHER A note for the grown-up No correct answers, finished pages or personal stories required. Point, draw, talk, ask a grown-up to write, or pass. Your page can stay private. Free for one household, class or setting. Share the original link; not for resale. littlewoodlandsfeelingslab.digidentai.com 2 / 2 Use clear words This activity is about someone who has died. Explain a death separately with a trusted adult. Stars here represent memories, not an explanation of where a person has gone. Few memories is not a failure A child can use a story somebody tells them, a photograph, a place or a memory belonging to Fuzz. Leaving the page blank is another choice. Sharing belongs to the child Choose whether to keep this privately, put it in a box, or share later. Playing and laughing can sit beside missing somebody. Use clear language about death. Do not compare losses or require a child to share with a group. Warm memories and painful feelings can sit together.
