Babies and young children can be affected by changes in their world just as much as adults, but they don’t always have the words to express how they feel. That’s how the name of this project – Wee People, Big Feelings – came about.

​

​The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust has funded Moray Council and Starcatchers to work in partnership to offer training opportunities to the early years workforce who work with Forces Families. Frozen Charlotte's Artistic Director, Heather Fulton, and Movement Specialist, Ruby Worth, will be running sessions in 5 Lossiemouth nurseries from Sept 2025 to Mar 2026, working directly with the staff, wee ones and their families to develop creative play kits that help develop emotional literacy.  

​

This programme is developed from Starcatchers original Wee People Big Feelings in 2022, a programme working with forces families with wee ones from two years old to age five, and practitioners in Scots Corner to explore how creativity can help early years children to understand and express their feelings. ​​​
