Help Your Child Learn to Name, Understand & Recognize Emotions with These Montessori-Aligned Printable Flash Cards
Teaching toddlers and preschoolers about emotions just got easier (and more meaningful)! These printable emotion flash cards are designed to help young children learn to identify and talk about feelings in themselves and others—an essential step in building emotional intelligence.
Unlike many basic flash cards, each of the 29 cards in this set includes:
✔️ The name of the emotion
✔️ A realistic, diverse image of a child expressing the feeling
✔️ A simple description of how to recognize that emotion in real life
This added guidance is perfect for parents, caregivers, teachers, and therapists who want to go beyond “point and name” learning. You’ll be able to guide natural conversations about how different emotions look, feel, and show up in the body—in a way that toddlers can truly understand.
