Feelings and Emotions Carpet Squares – Set of 16

Turn the floor into an interactive feelings-learning space with sixteen individual carpet squares, each showing a child expressing an emotion. With emotion words printed in NSW Manuscript font, the squares support language, observation and movement-based activities. Children can stand on a tile, talk about the feeling or turn the squares over for a matching and memory challenge.

Why Educators Love It

How to Use It

• Invite children to select a tile and describe the feeling shown
