“Tomás the Capybara Lost His Sadness” Story + Activities Bundle is a meaningful resource that helps children understand emotions, build empathy, and learn how to care for others.

In this gentle rhyming story, Tomás stops feeling sadness and begins to notice something is missing—he no longer reacts when others are hurt or in need. Through his journey, children discover that sadness plays an important role in helping us connect, care, and respond with kindness.

This bundle includes engaging, screen-free activities that guide children to recognize sadness in themselves and others, practice compassionate responses, and explore emotions through drawing, role-play, and reflection.

Perfect for:
• bedtime stories and storytime
• social-emotional learning (SEL)
• classroom and homeschool activities
• parents teaching empathy and emotional intelligence
• connection-focused, screen-free play

A beautiful story and activity set that reminds children that sadness is not something to avoid—it’s what helps us care deeply for others.
