Ten faces a child can point at instead of explaining
Ten tactile plastic stones, each moulded with a different facial expression - happy, sad, angry, surprised, mischievous and more.
The whole point is that a child does not have to find the word. A four-year-old who cannot say "frustrated", or a child who freezes when asked how they feel, can pick up a stone. That is a conversation you could not otherwise have.
They work in the other direction too. Give a class one stone each and ask them to act it out, or build a story around three of them, and you are teaching emotional vocabulary through play rather than through a worksheet.
They are washable, which matters for something ten children handle every day.
Age: the supplier says 3 years and over.
