Social/Emotional Activity: M&M Anger Reflections

There are many ways to help your child learn to recognize and express their emotions. We like this one because it involves candy!! This is a great activity after a meltdown or major disturbance to reflect on the feelings your child was having trouble expressing. This is a great activity for children with ADHD, Autism, and other mental health concerns because it breaks emotions down into small, tangible, and colorful objects! All you will need is a handful of M&M’s! Check out the chart below or make your own using jelly beans, skittles, starburst or whatever candy you may have stashed away!
