What Color is Happiness?

The Bubble Guppies use the arts — from signing to drawing to dancing — to express their feelings. 

Research shows that the arts help young children express themselves and develop vital social skills. 

Crayons are the perfect art supply to help children express themselves on paper since they respond to the strength of children’s movements with different shades and textures. 

Play on to create your own representation of the feelings!

Tip for Parents/Caregivers: Crayons are magical tools for children. Working with crayons can help children build the small muscles in their fingers and hands that will help them to write and climb. Crayons can also help children learn the colors, make connections, and boost specific skills — from math skills to social skills!
