Learning Resources Good Behaviour Buckets, Social Emotional Toy, Preschool Toy, Ages 3+, Multicolor, 4.8 x 4.7 x 7.2 inches

Great item always a great resource.

Very effective for my special needs daughter, visual and simple to use

Because of my job I’m always thinking of ways to support my little ones so when this item came along I was excited to take it! You get two buckets, one with a happy face, the other one sad. You also receive thirty plastic sticks and two sheets of labels, one preprinted with activities. My first thought was that the buckets look sturdy and well presented, the sticks also look excellent - hearts and stars for good, thunderbolts and clouds for not so good. I am a little gutted at seeing the American terms for behaviour on the preprinted stickers, it could have been tweaked to suit the English market as I doubt some of my little ones will understand what it means! If you plan to print your own labels it’s unlikely to fit and I’m unsure if there’s a suitable template online. Maybe worth laminating and glueing it on instead. That said you can either use it as a reward bucket and as a way of highlighting behaviour at home or in school. Or as I am planning on using it, as an intervention activity where I’m going to encourage the students to sort through the sticks and put positive and negative behaviours in the right buckets. I am going to create my own labels for the sticks though which may hide the pretty shapes but will make more sense for my children. It’s a wonderful idea though, albeit a bit expensive.

Wonderful quality, worked well for my son he loves it!

I’m not sure I like this concept of “good” and “bad” behaviour.The set is made up of 2 buckets - one with a happy face and the other with a sad face.There are sticks that you receive blank and so have to peel off the enclosed stickers to complete the sticks - there is a blank sheet so you can write your own comments etc but there aren’t any spare sticks so you would need to discount some of the pre printed stickers.Quite a lot of the terms are very American - this should be made for the U.K. market or marked clearly on the front so you know this before ordering.Once a behaviour has been noted the child puts the relevant stick in the happy or sad pot - once you have a few in the pot they are likely to forget what “behaviours” are in there as you can’t read them when they’re placed together.I much prefer a chart that’s placed on the wall which is easier to see and understand.This is of course my own opinion and I know other people will like this concept it’s just not for me

This item meets my expectations since I find it very useful for the classroom management. Moreover the material is really sturdy.

Great for helping the little ones remember their manners and how to behave!

I've made something similar over the years working with young people so when I saw this, I knew this would be perfect for use with my little one at home as he gets older and help him with his social-emotional learning. Something so simple, but very effective and visual, this is great for youngsters to identify good behaviours, learn how to deal with emotions and how to respond correctly to situations.In this set you get two buckets - one orange with a happy face on and one purple with a sad face. You get 30 plastic sticks with various shapes and pre-printed behaviours - positive and negative that you can stick on them. I have to admit, some of these are more suited to a school environment but you can always make your own - though not so easy without any blank shapes for the sticks, this would have been nice to be included for personalisation in and out the classroom.The only other downside to this for me is that it does use American terms rather than English one so 'behavior' rather than 'behaviours' but on the whole it isn't the biggest issues, especially if you aim to personalise it anyway.Overall a simple yet effective visual tool and one I am excited to use with my little one.
