Emotions Faces Circular Carpet

Give group time a clear focus with the Emotions Faces Circular Carpet, a 2 m classroom carpet featuring twelve different facial expressions. Its illustrated faces invite children to notice visual details, talk about possible feelings and listen to different interpretations. The design uses faces without printed keywords, leaving adults free to introduce vocabulary that suits the group.

The carpet provides twelve child placement spots and one teacher placement, making it useful for organising a reading or discussion area. Children can find a place before an activity begins, while the adult leads a story, asks a question or introduces an expression to explore. The circular format brings the group around a shared visual resource.

An adult might invite children to describe what they notice about a face, compare two expressions or suggest how a character in a story could be feeling. There is no need to ask children to reveal personal feelings in order to participate. They can talk about an imaginary character, point to a face or simply listen to the discussion.

The Emotions Faces Circular Carpet creates opportunities for spoken language through describing, explaining and listening. Children can explore words such as happy, surprised or worried as part of a conversation, while recognising that people may interpret an expression differently. The pictures provide a starting point for discussion rather than a test with one required answer.

For nurseries and classrooms, the carpet combines a defined gathering area with a visual prompt that can be revisited across different stories and topics. Families with an appropriate indoor space can also use it for shared reading and conversation. The thick, soft pile provides a carpeted seating surface, and the backing helps grip the supporting floor. Allow room around the full 2 m diameter for access, check that the carpet lies flat and follow the supplied cleaning guidance. ONE circular carpet is supplied, with the placement areas integrated into its design.
