Dealing with Feelings Kit

Dealing with Feelings Kit is a multi-resource emotional-literacy collection for recognising, naming and discussing feelings. Rollers, hearts, character pieces, emotion stones, self-regulation prompts, worry stones and a practical handbook provide varied visual and tactile starting points.

Dealing with Feelings Kit creates product-led learning through its supplied design. The kit offers several ways into a conversation, allowing a child or group to choose pictures, characters, textures or guided questions rather than relying only on spoken explanation.

Designed for nurseries, schools, home learning and guided individual or group emotional-literacy sessions, it can support independent exploration, shared activity or adult-led learning according to the resource and intended user.

What makes Dealing with Feelings Kit special

The kit offers several ways into a conversation, allowing a child or group to choose pictures, characters, textures or guided questions rather than relying only on spoken explanation.

The genuine features of Dealing with Feelings Kit provide a clear starting point while allowing different activities, stories or investigations. This supports repeat use without relying on claims beyond the product itself.

Emotional vocabulary and communication

Children can identify expressions, compare feelings and practise words for internal experiences. Adults can use open questions to encourage reflection without deciding how a child feels.

Adults can extend Dealing with Feelings Kit with relevant vocabulary, counting, comparison, sequencing or open questions where these fit the activity and learner.

Social understanding and empathy

Characters and kindness resources support discussion of different viewpoints, helpful actions and how behaviour may affect other people in a group.

Whether used alone or with others, Dealing with Feelings Kit can encourage concentration, choice and explanation. Shared sessions add opportunities for listening and turn-taking where relevant.

Flexible individual and group activities

A practitioner might introduce one emotion stone during a short individual conversation, use the larger stones for circle time or combine characters and rollers in a story. Keeping activities open-ended lets children contribute at their own pace. The supplied handbook offers additional structure for adults planning communication and behaviour discussions.

Tactile resources for meaningful reflection

Stone-based pieces give children something concrete to hold, arrange or select while talking. This can make an abstract topic more visible and support turn-taking in a group. Self-regulation and sensory worry stones can act as prompts for discussing choices and personal strategies, and they are presented as educational resources for naming choices, preferences and personal strategies during supported discussion. The breadth of the kit also lets adults select a smaller group of materials instead of introducing every component at once.

Benefits for early years, school and home settings

In education provision, Dealing with Feelings Kit can strengthen a relevant sensory, STEM, role-play, communication or classroom area. Staff can connect it with current learning and plan access around the space.

At home, Dealing with Feelings Kit offers purposeful screen-free activity and can become part of an established play or learning routine. Supported contents and specifications are recorded below.
