Description
Remember that meltdown last week over the wrong color cup? Yeah, me too. I used to dread those moments, fumbling for the right words. I needed something—anything—to help my kiddo (and let’s be honest, me) navigate those big, overwhelming emotions.
So, I made this. Think of it as a chill coloring session that secretly does the heavy lifting of emotional coaching.
This isn’t just another PDF to print and forget. It’s 12 little emotion characters, each with a story. You’ve got the “I-justgot-a-popsicle!” happy face, the “someone-took-my-toy” angry face, and my personal favorite, the zen, calm face we all aspire to after the kids are finally in bed.
Why this has been a lifesaver in our house:
- Stops the “Fine” Monosyllables: Instead of asking “How was your day?” and getting a grunt, you can point to the faces. “Ooh, which one feels like you right now?” The conversation just… happens. It’s magic.
- Names the Scary Stuff: Giving a name to “frustration” or “disappointment” takes away its power. It helps kids realize, “Oh, THIS is what that feeling is. It’s normal, and it will pass.”
- Builds Tiny, Kind Humans: When your child colors the “sad” face, they’re not just staying in the lines. They’re practicing what it might be like for a friend to feel that way. Hello, empathy!
- A Real, Screen-Free Reset: You know that beautiful sound? The quiet scratch-scratch of a crayon when they’re totally focused. It’s a calming activity for them, and a legit 10-minute break for you. Everyone wins.
Perfect for:
- Parents in the “threenager” trenches or navigating big kid attitudes.
- Teachers who need a quick, meaningful activity for a calm-down corner.
- Anyone trying to raise a human who is more in touch with their feelings than, say, a character from Bluey (and that’s a high bar!).
The best part? It’s a digital download. No waiting for the mail. No “I’ll get to it later.” You can have it in your hands and be talking about feelings in under 5 minutes. No fuss, no mess.
