I am me by The Freckled Frog

Support children as they explore feelings, emotions and positive self-identity with I Am Me by The Freckled Frog. This beautifully designed wooden puzzle uses simple affirmations to encourage confidence, emotional awareness and meaningful conversations in a way that is easy for young children to understand.

Featuring affirmations such as kind, brave, strong and caring, as well as the reassuring message “I’m unsure and that’s okay”, this puzzle helps children recognise and express a range of emotions while building a positive sense of self. It can be used as a gentle conversation starter during group time, wellbeing activities or one-on-one learning.

As children place each puzzle piece, they are also developing problem-solving, concentration, hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. The bright colours provide additional opportunities for colour recognition and language development.

Made from FSC-certified New Zealand pine and plywood, the puzzle is finished with non-toxic paint and a clear matt varnish for durability and long-lasting classroom use.
