🌡️ Part 2: How Do I Use The Feelings Thermometer in Speech Therapy?

Here’s a little look at how I use this tool during therapy to help children understand their emotions and recognise the signals their body is giving them:

💭 Identify how they’re feeling
👀 Notice their body clues
🧠 Explore why they might be feeling that way
💬 Put their feelings into words
🛠️ Think about what might help them next

The goal isn’t to simply ask, “What zone are you in?”

It’s about creating opportunities for children to build emotional awareness, self-advocacy and regulation skills in a way that is meaningful to them.

And remember — there’s no “bad” zone. All feelings are okay.

Would you use a Feelings Thermometer at home, school or in therapy?

🌡️ Part one: What is a Feelings Thermometer?

Helping children understand how they’re feeling, recognise their body clues, and communicate what they might need is an important part of developing emotional regulation skills.

The Feelings Thermometer is one of the visual tools we use in speech therapy to make these big concepts a little easier to understand.

At The Little Cubbyhouse, we love tailoring resources to each child’s interests to support greater engagement and motivation during sessions. With the help of AI tools, we can create personalised visuals more quickly and easily—giving us even more flexibility to bring each child’s favourite themes into their therapy activities! ✨💛

Happy Early Childhood Educators’ Day! 🌻💛🌞

Today we want to give a special shout-out to the wonderful educators at Kids Cave Abermain.

We know there are so many incredible early childhood services and educators in our community doing amazing things every day. But this one is particularly special to us because it’s the service we know personally — they care for one of our very own Little Cubbyhouse kids, Nathan. 🥰

Thank you for the patience, kindness, creativity and care you bring each day — for helping little people learn, play, communicate, grow and feel safe and supported; for celebrating the little wins, supporting the tricky moments, answering approximately 847 questions 😅 and creating a place where children feel like they belong.

As a speech pathologist, I know just how important early childhood educators are in supporting children’s communication, confidence, friendships and development.

And as Nathan’s mum, I’m simply very grateful for the people who know him, encourage him and care about him. 💛

So today, this is our little shout-out to Kids Cave Abermain — while also sending a very big Happy Early Childhood Educators’ Day to all of the wonderful educators across our community. 🌻

We see what you do, and we appreciate you. 🌞

🎉 A warm Cubbyhouse welcome to Scarlette! 🎉

One of our favourite things at The Little Cubbyhouse is supporting the next generation of speech pathologists. We're so excited to welcome Scarlette to our team for the next seven weeks as she completes her final-year speech pathology placement.

During her placement, Scarlette will have the opportunity to observe sessions, work alongside our clinicians, and interact with many of our wonderful families. She'll always be supported and supervised as she continues developing her skills and confidence.

We're passionate about helping future speech pathologists learn in a real-world, family-centred environment, and we know our amazing Cubbyhouse families will make Scarlette feel right at home.

Please join us in giving Scarlette a warm Cubbyhouse welcome! 👏

🏡✨ Welcome to one of our favourite little corners of The Little Cubbyhouse.

At first glance, you might see a cubby house, a play kitchen, a trampoline and a cosy space to explore.

We see something a little different.

We see children building confidence as they climb inside for imaginative adventures. We see new words being discovered during pretend play, friendships beginning to blossom, and big feelings finding a safe place to land. We see opportunities to problem-solve, connect, laugh and learn—because some of the most meaningful therapy happens when children feel relaxed enough to simply play.

Our clinic may now be a home-based business, but our vision hasn't changed.

A place where play comes first.
A place where connection comes before communication.
A place where every child is celebrated for exactly who they are.

Because to a child, this might just look like play...

But we know that through play, incredible things can happen. ✨🧸

26/06/2026

The countdown is officially on... and we can't wait to make many beautiful memories together in our new home. 🏡🐻🎈

Stay tuned—we'll be sharing more sneak peeks very soon! 👀✨
