What Can We Learn From Little Wolf?

Pick the Right Outfit: Little Wolf does not give the same costume to everyone. He finds what fits best for that exact moment. When your brain is foggy, do not force yourself to do hard things. Pick an "easy costume" for the day, like resting or doing very simple tasks.

Listen to Your Customers: Little Wolf has to listen closely to the animals to know what they need. You need to listen to your body in the exact same way. Is your brain asking for a big glass of water, some fresh air, or a short nap? Give your body what it asks for to help clear the clouds.

Make it Playful: Little Wolf finds his work at the market to be a lot of fun! Brain fog can make you feel down, so try to add a little bit of play to your day. Listen to a happy song, draw a silly picture, or just wear your favourite comfy clothes to feel better.

*The preceding tips were written by Gemini after I've read the latest chapter of Little Wolf. Under no circumstance should the original author, Mr Ian Whybrow, or the studio behind the Little Wolf film, Lupus Films, ever sue me for doing such a bad deed. Unless they do. Which isn't fair!

Oh, and also: boo shame to them.

Scooby Doo's TPT Tool

Hi! Scooby Doo here! I'm fresh out of the Mystery Machine with something my therapist taught me:

T, P, T.

What is TPT, you ask? I'll show you!

T - Tool. Always have a safe tool on hand to keep you going when you want time for space and quiet - for me, it's a Scooby Snack, but for you it can be all sorts of things: a sketchpad, a squishy toy, some colouring pens, music, don't matter what.

P - Person. Have your ideal safe person to tell you want a moment of quiet and space when there's too much noise.

T - Treat. Always take a small treat with you in case you feel either hungry or thirsty. I take Scooby Snacks with every mystery I go on with my gang, but you? It's your call. Crisps, a fizzy drink, or maybe even some juicy marshmallow sweets!

And of course, TPT doesn't mean Try Please Try, because that's forcing it. Try and do this technique as gently as possible, because when you do it slowly, as some old Greek man said:

Slow and steady wins the race...or as I say, solves the mystery!

Scooby-dooby-DOOO!

Horrid Henry's Daffy Daisy Guide To Emotional Dysregulation

*WARNING: The following post has content written by Gemini. By continuing to read the post, you waive Henry, Peter, Francesca Simon and Orion Publishing of any similarities to what we learnt about getting your own way from a 10 year old horrid boy who hates In The Night Garden.

1. Make Your Own Happy Bubble
Henry uses his rock music to block out the annoying daisies. When you feel upset or annoyed by things around you, you can go into your own mind. Think of your favorite song, a fun story, or a safe place. This builds a strong shield to keep the bad feelings out.

2. Take Control of Yourself
Henry could not leave the concert. He was stuck. But he took control of his own actions by singing his own songs. When you feel like everything is going wrong, focus on what you can control. You can control your breathing, your thoughts, and where you look.

3. Let the Big Energy Out
Feeling annoyed gives you a lot of trapped energy. Henry used his energy to rock out in his head. You can find safe ways to let your big energy out too. You can squeeze a soft toy, draw a picture, or take deep, slow breaths.

4. Distract Your Brain
Instead of looking at how much he hated the concert, Henry put all his focus on the Killer Boy Rats. If something makes you feel bad, try to look away and put your focus on a thing you love.

So you see, with these tips, life isn't fair after all, IS IT?!

He he he he...*vomits*.

Did You Know These About The '90s?

The Rugrats Movie was the first Nick film based on a Nicktoon, and was the first non Disney animated film to gross over $100 in the US.

McDonald's fries were the most popular brand of French fries in the '90s, due to their switch from beef oil to vegetable oil. Yummee!

The '90s toy brand Puppy Surprise actually got a re haul in the 2010's to coincide with the popularity of such stuff as MLP: Friendship Is Magic.

Animaniacs became popular in the '90s due to its variety show format and self-aware humor, which was unique for its time unlike other cartoons of the time.

YOU GUYS!

The question is: What if you were to visit The Land Of Sweets? Who would you meet? What would you see first? What would be your favourite part of the exploration? And why?

The Gumdrops Changed My Life: A Lifetime Original Movie

Okay, so it's not an original movie, but since I got The Gumdrops: Quest For Bravery yesterday in the post, things have been completely different for me. Thanks to the interactive elements of the book, and the creative art and writing skills of Ms Elissa Elwick, these extremely exciting and surprise-filled ripoffs of the Teletubbies are...not ripoffs at all, but rather something you'd rather find in a GMTV Kids preschool show.

Without them, my creativity wouldn't have expanded, and by helping them and their flying red bear storyteller friend on their quest to make an imaginary friend for their human friend Daisy, there's loads of endless possibilities for every time you read again.

So without further to do, here are ten ways The Gumdrops have helped me expand my creativity:

1.I used my imagination skills to help them. I helped them through every step of their journey, like Nick Jr viewers help Dora and Boots on their adventures. My favourite part of the book was imagining what the scary shadows are - a rainbow lizard, a dinosaur and a sleepy cave boy, Mildred Hubble, you name it, it's here.

2.The world is fun to explore. Wow! Look at how beautiful Yummy Gummy Land is! Every time you come back for a five minute stress break, use the book to boost your imagination skills: for they, yes they, are the key to taking away your fog.

3.It sharpens creativity. Unlike other Little Tiger books, which are all told in cosy cottagecore rhyme, this graphic novel mixes a programme you'd find with either Ragdoll, Nick Jr or GMTV Kids' preschool strand as it uses reader participation to expand and encourage creativity in any reader, including kids.

4.The villain isn't threatening. Unlike those in My Little Pony like King Sombra and Tirek, who are all threatening and scary, the little fluffy rabbit Evilee isn't at all threatening. Instead, she is who all preschool villains should be - mischievous, playing pranks and throwing tantrums when nothing goes her way. It's something even Octonauts and The Lion Guard should adopt. You hear me, Disney Junior?!

5.It inspired me to do some creative projects of my own. You know what? I'll dedicate the rest of the countdown to what I did inspired by those Gumdrops. Here they are:

6.Imagination diaries

7.My own imagination books, inspired by those Paige the librarian keeps

8.Micro fiction and drabbles

9.Character diaries

10.And best of all, thanks to the Gumdrops, I discovered that I can turn words into anything with the power of imagination - something other Little Tiger/Stripes books like Dirty Bertie and Undead Pets, didn't encourage their readers to do before, because nobody understood it like author Elissa Elwick.

So Elissa, if you're reading this, I would like to say: thank you. The Gumdrops meant so much to me, and now it is a tool for combatting brain fog and thinking up new ideas. When the new Gumdrops book, Main Character Energy, my creativity will expand even more. Maybe I can suggest some ideas for Gumdrops books!

But still, Elissa, I couldn't have expanded my creativity without you or your faithful Gumdrops on hand to see me through. So:

Thank you for encouraging creativity.

Thank you for helping me combat my brain fog and finding something to help me spend my 5 minute time out sessions with.

And most of all...

Thank you, for inventing a series that caters to my level.

As a wise poodle once said:

You're doing great.

Keep up the good work.
