What is a Matter Splatter? A Matter Splatter is a splash of all the things that matter to you. In your Matter Splatter you can put people, objects, places, things, beliefs, values and so much more. In fact, anything can go in your Matter Splatter, so long as it is important to you.

This is a wonderful activity that helps children realise that we are all unique and teaches us to respect the opinions and beliefs of others. If you are using this in a classroom, you could have your children swap their Matter Splatters to find out what they can learn about their friends and peers!

About this year's theme

This year's theme is "My Voice Matters," a theme about empowering children and young people by providing them with the tools they need to express themselves. When we feel empowered and listened to, this has a tremendous affect on our wellbeing and mental health. This year, help children to realise the importance of their own voice, beliefs and opinions with our Children's Mental Health Week resources. More coming soon!
