How to use it
- Imagine a feeling as a creature, shape, or other made-up form.
- Choose its size, color, sound, movement, needs, or habitat.
- Draw as much or as little as you want; the creature is only a metaphor.
Reflection prompts
- What would you like someone to notice about your creature?
- Does it change in different situations?
- What space or support might it want?
Facilitator guidance
Use for creative externalization without treating the creature as a symptom, diagnosis, or hidden meaning. Let the creator define every part of the metaphor.
Adaptations & accessibility
- Build with clay, collage, blocks, or selected picture parts.
- Create a weather pattern or abstract shape instead of a creature.
- Allow storytelling without drawing or sharing.
