All About Feelings: Core Emotions Bundle – Item 771

All About Feelings: Core Emotions Bundle is a printable, child-friendly set of four workbooks designed to help children aged 5–7 (and those with additional needs) explore, understand, and manage the main core emotions young children experience: happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. While research identifies additional emotions such as surprise and disgust, these four are especially important for early emotional development and provide a strong foundation for recognising and coping with feelings.

Through simple, engaging, and highly visual activities, children learn to recognise what each emotion looks like on the face, how it feels in the body, and the different ways emotions can appear in thoughts and behaviours. Each workbook uses drawing-based tasks, colouring exercises, and gentle prompts to encourage reflection and discussion without the need for lots of writing. Children are guided to think about what triggers each emotion, notice the thoughts and feelings that come with them, and recognise emotions in themselves and others. The clear, consistent structure makes the bundle especially suitable for SEN learners, helping children build confidence and understanding at an accessible level.

A key feature of the bundle is the “Emotion Toolboxes,” which introduce simple, practical strategies for expressing, coping with, and managing each emotion in a safe and supportive way. By linking facial expressions, body sensations, thoughts, and behaviours, the workbooks help children develop emotional awareness and early emotional literacy skills in a calm and child-friendly manner.

Each workbook concludes with a colourful, child-friendly certificate, celebrating the child’s achievement in exploring and understanding each emotion. This adds a sense of accomplishment and encourages children to feel proud of their learning.

Perfect for classrooms, nurture groups, ELSA sessions, or home use, this bundle provides a gentle and effective way to help children explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and build confidence in recognising and managing happiness, sadness, anger, and fear — the core emotions most relevant for young learners.

There is a cover sheet, 11 additional pages and adult instructions included in each workbook.
