Feelings Threads

Feelings Threads is a data visualisation feelings tracking activity for children that combines creativity, emotional awareness, and data collection in a unique and engaging activity for primary school students. Over five weeks, students will track their daily emotions using embroidery to create a vibrant, data-driven art piece. Each day, they’ll select a thread colour to represent their mood and stitch one square of a 5x5 grid.
