Help a child deal with grief

Small creatureOur Small Creature pack can help young children who have lost someone close to them.

It can be difficult to tell how they are dealing with that loss, and tricky to help them through any feelings they might be having.

This is where our Small Creature pack can help. 

Small Creature loses his best friend, Bird, and finds himself experiencing all sorts of feelings as he tries to deal with his loss. The friends he encounters along the way give him ways to deal with those feelings and help him understand that help is always at hand.

How Small Creature can help with bereavement

The Small Creature animated film
Available here for you to see in full, the Small Creature animated film is best viewed with the child in your care. It offers another way to help them to explore their feelings, alongside the story pack.

Some of the items in the small creature packEvery child responds differently to loss, just like adults do. The Small Creature pack, designed for young children aged 3-11, helps you sit down with the child in your care and find the best way to help them through their grief. 

The pack contains a story book, felt toy, a set to act out the story, an audio cd and cards that will help with the activities in the story, all contained in a soft cotton bag.

You can also watch the animated story narrated by Gloria Hunniford online together, using the story pack alongside it.
