Product Overview
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 they’re 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
La-la-llama toys make learning fun. As well as helping children develop speech and social skills, the tactile nature of this toy encourages the development of dexterity and fine motor skills. Felt board emotions also provide a neutral ground for talking about difficult, but very normal, feelings, such as anxiety, grief or anger. At the same time, this emotions face toy can just be a funny face game! With secure Velcro fastenings and a storage bag, this is a great set to take on a trip or play with while waiting for service.
