Page Text: Battie
OUR SPECIAL FRIEND
Bat, or Battie as she is affectionately known, plays a special role in our kids art classes. She is always there to pat or cuddle when those BIG emotions take over. Lots of kids who are a bit nervous at the start of the class, have loved to pat a bat. She also remind us to BAT when the big emotions take over. To calm down we need to Breathe, Admit and Think.
