No matter what age we are, the ability to understand emotions and talk about how we are doing can help us to connect with others, tackle challenges and build our resilience long term. That’s why I created The Feelings Hotel book and Fuzzy Feelings emotion cards for my son because learning about and normalising all our emotions is so important for our well being. If we can notice different feelings as they come up, we have a better chance of working through them.
There are so many ways to use these Fuzzy Feeling emotion cards with children, at home and school. Use them in their very own calm corner or add them to a calm kit. You can download the free printable cards below in four languages and keep posted as I update with new Fuzzy Feelings emotion cards.

These feelings cards are for helping to notice and learn about different feelings, they are not about changing your feelings – feel what you want to feel. These cards are about getting to know your feelings and deciding what you want to do next with them.
