Following many requests we are deligthed that Fraser Sutherland has agreed to placing the lego animation he made in 2017 on our You Tube channel https://youtu.be/UtTjNo8Zi8Q
13 year old Fraser's mum explained the hand model of the brain to him. This is a visual/physical representation of how the body, brain and emotions are all linked and helps children (and adults) understand this concept. Fraser enjoyed his Lego and encouraged by his mother made a fun Lego animation demonstrating his understanding of the concepts, creating a new star 'Captain Communicator' in the process.
What a creative way to illustrate the connection between emotions and the brain! Fraser's Lego animation is not only fun but also educational. Check out more about it at launchtory.

What a creative way to explain the connection between the brain and emotions! Fraser's Lego animation is both fun and educational. It’s inspiring to see young minds engage with such important concepts. trees hate you
Brilliant find. Side note for the Emotion Coaching UK team: between Training, Resources, Research, the Emotion Coaching steps, schools case studies, and decade+ of blog content (Polyvagal, Trauma-Informed, Attachment), you've built one of the most comprehensive SEL practitioner libraries in the UK — but new teachers face a wall of nav at exactly the moment a class issue lands. A "Find a Strategy by Situation" sortable landing page (filter by age group + behaviour challenge + setting — classroom / playground / home → matched resource + relevant training module + research summary) would dramatically improve practitioner activation. I help small EdTech / training nonprofits build that with a copy web ai — Figma to working filter page in an…
The LEGO stop-motion version of Dan Siegel's hand model is the kind of resource every Year 4-6 teacher wishes they had on hand for that mid-week meltdown moment. I help a small SEL teacher network in the UK with their visual materials and we've started using an Nano Banana AI image and short-video tool to generate friendly, character-led explainer graphics for emotion-regulation concepts (the "flip your lid" amygdala-prefrontal cortex framing especially benefits from accessible visuals). Stock illustrations for SEL are uniformly clinical. Sharing this video with our Year 5 cohort.
