Explore Your Emotions! Coloring and Activity Book

Explore Your Emotions! uses coloring pages, familiar situations, and a feelings-matching activity to help children recognize emotions and share them with a trusted adult. A suggested audience is preschool and early elementary children, approximately ages 3–8, with adult guidance based on reading and developmental abilities. For ages 3–5, a caregiver could name the feelings shown in a picture and invite the child to describe their artwork. For ages 6–8, a teacher or counselor could discuss situations such as dropping an ice cream cone, feeling afraid of the dark, or taking pride in helping a family member. The activities also encourage children to recognize that other people have feelings that may differ from their own. Parents, teachers, and counselors can use the pages individually or in small groups, inviting children to share without pressuring them to discuss personal experiences.
