Teaching Resources for The Hug Button by Naomi Jones
The Hug Button by Naomi Jones, illustrated by Rebecca Ashdown, is a beautifully gentle story that explores separation, reassurance, and the comfort of love. Perfect for supporting children in the early years of school, it opens up conversations about emotions, belonging, and the special people in our lives who make us feel safe.
These teacher resources are designed to help you use the story as a springboard for meaningful classroom activities. Through discussion, creative expression, and reflection, pupils will be encouraged to recognise and talk about their feelings, explore the importance of consent and personal boundaries, and find ways to stay connected to those they care about. Activities link to PSHE, Art, and Science, giving children the opportunity to express themselves in varied and engaging ways while building emotional literacy.
Whether your class is just starting school or learning about empathy, these lessons will give them space to share their own experiences, practise kindness, and celebrate the small acts of love that can make a big difference.
