Help children understand, express and talk about their emotions with the How Do I Feel Today? Playmat and Cushions. Designed to create a safe, welcoming and reflective space, this set helps children link facial expressions to feelings, opening up opportunities for self awareness, emotional literacy and gentle conversations.
The playmat provides a large, engaging visual reference, while the matching cushions offer tactile and visual prompts children can hold, move and interact with. Perfect for classrooms, quiet corners, nurture groups, SEND settings and home learning spaces, this resource supports emotional development through calm, hands on exploration.
Children can sit on the cushions, place them onto the mat, discuss the feelings shown, or choose the cushion that best represents how they feel. This encourages communication, empathy, self regulation and confidence in naming emotions.
