Feelings Cube

Description

Hello there, I’m Inês. We all know that helping our little ones navigate their big emotions can sometimes feel like a daunting task. It is completely normal to feel overwhelmed when your child is struggling to communicate what is going on inside.

That is exactly why I’ve created The Feelings Cube – a simple, hands-on tool designed to make talking about emotions feel like playtime rather than a challenge.

What is it for?

• Giving Feelings a Name: It provides a visual, interactive way for children to identify six core emotions: happy, sad, angry, excited, scared, and worried.

• Making Communication Fun: By turning emotional check-ins into a game, it removes the pressure and makes children far more willing to share.

• Creating a Calmer Environment: When children can show you how they feel, frustration drops, leading to much smoother days at home and in the classroom.

• Ready-to-Use Play: It comes packed with brilliant, easy-to-follow activities, from ‘Mirror Play’ to ‘Story Time Feelings’, so you know exactly how to use it.

Who is it for?

• Parents & Carers: If you are looking for simple, practical ways to connect with your child and make parenting just a little bit easier, this is for you.

• Schools & Early Years Professionals: A fantastic, engaging resource to add to your calming corners or circle time activities to support emotional regulation in the classroom.

• Children aged 2 to 5 years old: The download includes specifically tailored activities:

  • For 2-3 Year Olds: Short, visual, and highly play-based activities (like matching games and action movements).

  • For 4-5 Year Olds: Activities that encourage conversation, simple role-play, and early problem-solving.

To get started, you simply download the file, cut around the shape, fold along the lines, and glue the tabs to create your cube. Please note: this resource is provided free of charge for personal use only.

Need a little more guidance? If you are finding behaviour at home particularly challenging and feel you need more robust strategies, you don’t have to do it alone. I would love to invite you to join our Parent Circle. These are warm, supportive workshops where we tackle these exact parenting hurdles together, equipping you with the practical tools you need to build a happier, calmer family life.
