The Volcano Inside- Creative Journal: A gentle place to draw, reflect and care for your feelings.

The Volcano Inside – Creative Journal is a gentle, creative companion designed to help children explore their feelings, thoughts, and emotions in a safe and supportive way. Using the comforting volcano metaphor from The Volcano Inside storybook, this journal invites children to pause, check in, and express what’s happening on the inside — through drawing, reflection, and simple, calming activities. Inside these pages, children are guided to: Name and explore their feelings using a volcano thermometer - Gently reflect on thoughts and worries with bubble-thought journalling - Notice triggers that make their volcano rumble or erupt - Discover helpful tools and supports that soothe big feelings - Practise calming strategies, including breathing and creative expression With plenty of open space to draw, colour, and imagine, this journal encourages self-expression at each child’s own pace. It has been created with neurodivergent-affirming values in mind and is suitable for use at home, in classrooms, or within therapeutic settings. This journal is not about fixing emotions — it’s about helping children understand, accept, and care for their volcano inside, with kindness Created by Australian author-illustrator Mandy Thach, The Volcano Inside – Creative Journal is designed to gently support, co-regulation, emotional wellbeing, self-regulation, and creative connection.
