Excellerations® Feelings Finder Activity for Classrooms

Ages 2+ / Toddler

Help young learners build emotional awareness and social skills with the Excellerations® Feelings Finder Social Emotional Learning Activity. Designed to foster understanding and empathy, this engaging classroom resource uses visual cues and interactive tools to help children identify, express, and manage their emotions. Perfect for Pre-K and Kindergarten settings, including inclusive classrooms and students with special needs, this activity promotes thoughtful conversation and playful learning around feelings. The complete kit includes six plush emotion dolls, 40 real-object photo cards, a Breathe with Me Strip, a Rainbow Mood Meter, and a hanging chart with storage pockets to keep all materials organized and ready to use.

• HELP CHILDREN IDENTIFY EMOTIONS WITH REAL-OBJECT PHOTOS: 40 full-color photos (10 each of animals, people, everyday objects, and natural scenes) encourage children to connect visuals with their emotions—there’s no wrong answer! A dog might make one child feel happy, while it could scare another.
• FOSTER EMPATHY WITH CUDDLY CHARACTERS: Includes six plush dolls, each representing a core emotion—happiness, calmness, sadness, anger, fear, and nervousness. These relatable, soft characters support open dialogue and self-expression.
• LEARN TO MANAGE EMOTIONS WITH INTERACTIVE TOOLS: The Breathe with Me Strip guides children in calming techniques through visual cues. The Rainbow Mood Meter lets children track and reflect on how they’re feeling, even if they’re only “halfway happy.”
• HANGING CHART WITH CONVENIENT STORAGE POCKETS IS ALWAYS READY: Keep everything organized and accessible with the included hanging chart—photos, plush dolls, and tools are always within reach for spontaneous teachable moments.
• FLEXIBLE FOR DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLES: With minimal structure and a broad approach, this activity is ideal for differentiated instruction, making it especially effective for children with autism, ADHD, or other special needs.
