Help kids learn about emotions
Learning to read faces and to talk about and manage your own emotions are key life skills. Help preschoolers practice in a fun way with this funny face game. Inspired by toddler sensory toys and speech therapy materials, this felt learning faces set includes 28 facial expressions elements, 1 double-sided base board (2 skin tones), 9 feelings cards and a storage bag. Many of the elements serve multiple uses: hair, beard or eyebrows; mouth or cheeks; smile or frown. As the pieces attach with Velcro, children can easily create emotions theyre feeling, talk about how someone else might feel, or simply copy a funny face from one of the cards.
Dozens of ways to play and learn
Created to encourage open-ended play, this felt board for toddlers can be used for independent play or with grown up support. A few of the options include: copying the faces on the feelings cards; creating your own funny face game; identifying emotions from a face made by someone else; representing your own emotions; or identifying parts of the face but the options are endless! The 9 feelings cards show different common emotions and also offer some simple ways to enhance a good mood or handle negative emotions, such as drawing a picture, talking to someone or sharing a hug.
Essential skills the easy way
