Feelings and Emotions Hand Puppets Set - Happy, Sad, Surprised, Angry and Scared

Overview

• Use tactile hand puppets to explore and name feelings through personal, social and emotional development activities.

• Distinct tactile elements help children explore feelings through touch and imaginative interaction. Five hand puppets represent Happy, Sad, Surprised, Angry and Scared, giving practitioners characters for emotional literacy classroom activities and conversations about emotional expression.

• Within personal, social and emotional development in the early years and beyond, practitioners can use the puppets to introduce feelings recognition activities. Children can name and discuss these emotions, using the varied expressions to focus conversations on recognising and expressing feelings.

• Hair on the Happy, Angry and Sad puppets makes a crinkly sound, adding sensory interest when using puppets to teach emotions. Each puppet fits children's hands and most adults' hands, supporting shared interaction during these activities.
