The Masterkidz emotion eggs board helps children recognise, name and express their feelings.

On this wooden emotion board children connect the top and bottom halves of eggs in different combinations to build happy, sad, angry or surprised faces. It is a useful tool for showing feelings without words. The board can also be used to practise empathy – ask your child to guess or copy someone else's mood.

What your child develops

• Emotional awareness. Recognising feelings.
• Empathy. Another's mood.
• Social skills. Talking about feelings.
• Imagination. New faces.

How to play

In the evening, ask your child to build a face that shows how they felt today and talk about it.

Tell a short story and let your child choose the hero's emotion.

A great gift

The emotion board is a thoughtful gift for home or kindergarten.
