It’s okay to feel unsure.
It’s okay if school feels big and new.
You’re safe, and you’re not alone.
Blob’s First Day
Blob’s First Day
Blob was starting somewhere new.
A place with big buildings, big bags, and lots of noise.
Blob’s tummy felt twisty. Their legs felt wobbly.

“What if I don’t know what to do?” Blob whispered.
Pip the mouse gave a smile. “Try this.”
It was a small, smooth stone.

Blob held it tight and rubbed it gently.
Each rub was like a tiny hug from home.
Each rub reminded Blob: it’s okay not to know everything yet.

At school, Blob found new crayons, new songs, and even a new friend.
The twisty feeling didn’t go away completely.
But Blob felt a bit braver. A bit steadier.

Now, the worry stone lives in Blob’s pocket — ready for anything new.
And that’s just right.

Starting School: Big Changes, Big Feelings
Starting school can bring excitement — but also uncertainty. Children might feel nervous about new routines, unfamiliar faces, or being away from home. These feelings can show up as clinginess, tearfulness, or quiet withdrawal.
How the Worry Stone Helps:
Holding a Support Blob gives children a comforting object to ground them. Rubbing the worry stone can help them feel more secure, connected, and ready to take small brave steps into their new environment.
First Day Support Tips:
Settle and Breathe: Hold the stone in your hand and take three slow breaths before walking into school.
Pocket Reassurance: Give the stone a little rub whenever you miss home or feel unsure. It’s your quiet reminder — you’ve got this.
