Have You Filled a Bucket Today?: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids: 10th Anniversary Edition (Bucketfilling Books)

We bought this for our 6 year old son who can sometimes struggle with kindness and was to be honest quite selfish. We had read the other positive reviews and thought we would give it a go. The book itself is paperback and features brightly coloured pictures to support the text.We read it together as a family; the sentiment is that if you are kind to people throughout your day then you fill an imaginary jar and that the fuller it is the happier you are; kind things happen to kind people. It also introduces ‘bucket dippers’ who take from other peoples buckets and simply gets across the idea of how this would make someone sad. It is a really simple concept that seems to stick with children; ours now refer to anyone mean as being bucket dippers! We also introduced a real jar to work alongside the book so that when we are kind we can visibly see the jar being filled. We would definitely recommend as a positive way to reinforce the effects of unkind behaviour.

I love this book! I have purchased it my two children and as a gift a few times. Great illustrations and good message. Both my children loved it as do I. Refer to it and ask them to consider their behaviour and wantvto br a bucket- filler or bucket- dipper! They always say a bucket filler- happy they make the right choice :)

I am a teacher / headteacher and have used this book for years with classes, individuals and the whole school. We love the concept of teaching kindness and have developed this approach throughout school. It is wonderfully illustrated and a great read! Enjoyed by adults, children and everyone. I would highly recommend for reading at home, in school and teaching children about the message of kindness and the feelings it brings to people's lives.

The concept is great. Exactly what I was looking for. One less star as the print is very basic but luckily the words kept my (just) 4 year old engaged.

This book explains the art of bucket filing in a unique way. It is easy to understand with excellent illustrations and clear language.

Lovely book

Fab kids book

My daughter has just started school and she is currently learning all about emotions and the impact on everyone etc using this book, it's amazing! She loves chatting all about bucket dippers and how she loves being kind to fill buckets as we walk home, got a copy for at home and I think it's a game changer, such a brilliant concept! The author should be in the avengers because she's a superhero.

I start every school year with the Fill a Bucket books. The concept forms a structure for classroom management. Students earn bucket filler slips. These are counted at the end of each week and tallied on a paper bucket (I found these materials on Teachers Pay Teachers). When there are 100 tallies, students earn a pre-determined classroom award. They love it, and parents love reading the slips when students take them home at the end of the week.

Such a great book to read for my kids. This book is my 2 years old favorite. It's well written, heartwarming and insightful. This book definitely wins my mama heart as it introduces the concept of emotional well-being in a simple and accessible way. I love how it teaches kids the impact of their actions towards others feelings. The beautiful and colorful illustration complements the message. I love this book.

Perfeito! Sensibiliza as crianças com relação às emoções e sentimentos.
